Review of Horse Shy

Horse Shy (1928)
6/10
The Unspeakable In Pursuit of Edward Everett Horton
22 July 2021
Edward Everett Horton is about to take part in his first Fox hunt. In the manner of all comedies, Nita Cavalier is convinced for no particular reason that he is a great horse man, and has arranged for his mount to be the most unmanageable in the established. Meanwhile, William Gillespie desires her and tries various means to kill him.

It's all in good fun in one of the two-reel comedies that Horton starred in, produced by Harold Lloyd to keep the money rolling in to pay his staff in between his own starring vehicles. There's a goodly number of well executed gags on display, and Horton uses his usual physical mannerisms to excellent effect.
