Uptown millionaire J. Harold Manners falls for an evangelist's daughter and finds himself involved in a decidedly downtown mission. “Here Lloyd seems to have been influenced by the Keaton of The Navigator in the fashioning of an upper-class comic hero who avoids the pratfalls of ordinary existence by walking in a seeming state of grace. The sudden, wistful hunger for the girl is pure Lloyd, but the aplomb with which the hunger is finally formalized has traces of Keaton. The final zipping-through-traffic sequences suffer somewhat from inadequate motivation, and there is never any time for pathos....(But) the location traveling shots of 1926 Los Angeles are as archaeologically moving as ever” (Village Voice).
