"The City Slicker" shows Harold Lloyd in his earlier days, revealing signs of good things to come, but overall just average as silent comedy. Comedies of the late teens are often more manic and much less refined than those of the 20's, and this one is not an exception to the rule. But do watch it if you are a Lloyd fan, and watch Harold carefully - although there are some routine stretches, there are also some very good gags, and some of them are rather subtle, so careful attention will be rewarded.
