Newmeyer, 76 Mins, Janus Films, USA** Harold Lloyd’s THE FRESHMAN (1925) remains one of the most beloved and accessible comedies of the silent era—a perfect introduction for newcomers and a perennial delight for seasoned fans. Here, Lloyd’s quintessential “all-American boy” arrives at Tate University brimming with movie-fed dreams of campus glory, only to find himself the butt of every joke. Determined to win respect, he sets his sights on making the football team, leading to a cascade of brilliant comic set-pieces—from doubling as a tackling dummy to presiding over a banquet where his suit quite literally comes apart at the seams—all building toward a rousing, laugh-filled climax. With its brisk pacing, relatable underdog story, and a blend of character-driven humor and physical gags, THE FRESHMAN captures Lloyd at the peak of his popularity, peering through his horn-rimmed glasses with equal parts innocence, optimism, and unshakable determination.
