From Hand to Mouth1920
Sorry. This film is not currently available.
With its large ensemble cast and elaborate location shooting, FROM HAND TO MOUTH signals Harold Lloyd’s mature phase following innumerable one-reelers. He begins the film on the skids, salting a chicken bone as he eyes a lunch counter. Lured into a kidnapping scheme, Lloyd’s fall guy ends up springing the damsel in distress so she can claim her rightful inheritance. The plot mechanics may be convoluted but the ambulatory gags are a picture of elegance. The film makes the grade as slapstick sociology as well, showing, for example, that the only way for a bum to attract a policeman’s attention is to bonk him over the head.
