GIRL SHY
1924 - 82 minutes

Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston
Directed by Fred C. Newmeyer & Sam Taylor

One of Harold Lloyd's greatest films, GIRL SHY is best known for its endlessly inventive chase scene that winds up the film's final 15 minutes. In this classic comedy, Harold is a nervous, stuttering fellow who pales at the sight of women but secretly writes a book on how to seduce them. On his way to the publisher, he meets the perfect girl and manages to talk to her without any trouble. But she rushes off to marry the wrong guy, and Harold must race across town to stop the wedding, using anything he can get his hands on. Seeing the film in a clean 35mm print with an appropriate musical score [which is why we have Dennis], fans will see that Lloyd was as brilliant a filmmaker as he was an actor, making sure each shot was clear, logical, beautiful - and very funny. - Jeffrey Anderson, Variety

Dennis James tours the world by playing original film scores and his own film scores to silent film. When an original film score no longer exists, he composes a score using the music & style of the era, so that to experience a silent film with Dennis is very much as it would have been back in the 1920's and teens. Come experience a bit of historical entertainment with us this Valentine's Day with the lyrical stylings of Dennis James and the comedic talent of Harold Lloyd in GIRL SHY. Also, expect a guest appearance by Bainbridge Island's own Tim Tully.
