series Retro Metro
Directed by Ted Wilde | 1928
With Harold Lloyd, Ann Christy, Bert Woodruff
This time capsule of 1920s New York is an amusement ride from beginning to end, with Harold Lloyd—whose athletic slapstick is in top-notch form—as the title character, a soda jerk turned cabbie fighting to save the city’s last horse-drawn trolley from the evil forces of the mass transit monopoly. This silent masterpiece includes a sequence in which Speedy entertains his girlfriend in Coney Island—a mini-masterpiece of sight gags and slapstick—and be on the look out for a cameo by Babe Ruth!
