Watching Ted Wilde's SPEEDY (1928). That Coney Island date sequence is one of the purest distillations of joy I've seen in a silent film.

The scene where Harold Lloyd and Ann Christy pretend to live in the back of the furniture truck...man...heartbreaking AND hilarious.

SPEEDY > SAFETY LAST!

SL is woefully average until the last third. SPEEDY shines all the way through.
SPEEDY contains slapstick worthy of Keaton and a wistfulness that never veers into the sappy melodrama of Chaplin. A singular achievement.
