It's a Harold Lloyd kind of day today. This title guarantees enjoyment.
#31 High and Dizzy
The Boy has just entered the medical practice and has not had any patients until a man brings in his daughter for sleepwalking. The Boy goes to see a colleague, whose homemade medicinals begin to pop their corks, leading them to consume them all to prevent them going to waste. Drunken hilarity ensues until The Boy follows his sleepwalking love interest out on the ledge of a high building and takes a tumble.
I love the illustrated intertitles in this short, especially when they are denoting drunken action, and the double vision scene was pretty impressively filmed. The way Harold Lloyd throws his body around is fun to watch, though seeing him nearly fall off a building was somewhat anxiety inducing. It's an entertaining film to provide brief respite from the daily toils and tribulations.
