The Strong Man - Harry LangdonFrank Capra, 1926 Film DescriptionFrank Capra's debut feature tells of a Belgian soldier who emigrates to America to meet his pen-friend sweetheart without knowing she is blind. Langdon, like Keaton, lost his way with the coming of sound, but this remains arguably his finest work, twinning Chaplinesque pathos with the magic-tinged innocence of Stan Laurel. In many ways it's almost an autobiographical text from Capra, who got his start as a Mack Sennet gagman, and this comedy is driven as much by character as by slapstick. "...the picture stands today as one of the most perfect comedies ever made" Kevin Brownlow. NB: This is an un-restored print.
