[edit] Plot
Harold Hall, a young man with little or no acting ability, desperately wants to be in the movies.
After a mix-up with his application photograph, he gets an offer to have a screen-test, and goes off to Hollywood. At the studio, he does everything wrong and causes all sorts of trouble. But he catches the fancy of a beautiful actress, and eventually the studio owner recognizes him as a comic genius.
[edit] Background
Harold Lloyd released this film before going on a trip to Europe, confident that it would be a great success. Instead, it was a relative failure at the time - his style of comedy was going out of fashion as the Great Depression made life more and more gloomy for many people.
