The Plot…

Harold is a young doctor with a new practice.  He goes to great lengths to appear busy.  When an older man brings in his grown doctor in, Harold is smitten.  So is the young lady.  Unfortunately her father isn’t impressed.  He and his daughter leave.

Harold decides to take out his frustration through a few (too many drinks) with a friend.  After a few close calls with a cop, Harold ends up in a high rise.  Wouldn’t you know it, the sleepwalking beauty lives there.

Rise and shine!

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Harold Lloyd and his co-star, Mildred Davis were married three years after the release of High and Dizzy.  They would have three children and remain married until her death on August 18, 1969.  Harold Lloyd died on March 8, 1971.

High and Dizzy (1920) rates 4 of 5 stars.
