Hugely entertaining, if not Lloyd at the peak of his powers.

Given the film’s nostalgic worldview, it’s all too appropriate that it now serves equally as entertainment and history.

Highlights include a wild chase scene through New York City traffic, a visit to Coney Island by Speedy and Jane, and a guest appearance by Babe Ruth...

While not a masterpiece on the order of 1923's Safety Last! and 1925's The Freshman, Speedy still ranks as grade-A entertainment from the great Harold Lloyd.

Lloyd always rejected the sentimentality of Chaplin and the droll cynicism of Keaton. Lloyd just wanted to have fun, and Speedy has it in spades.

Product Description:
This silent comedy is the story of "Speedy" (Lloyd), a cab driver who tries to save New York City's last horse-drawn trolley from being run out of business. The task (in which he recruits an army of elderly people as protesters) is in actuality an attempt to impress his girlfriend who's grandfather runs the trolley business. Featuring a cameo by baseball legend Babe Ruth as himself.
