Last episode's film was not really available in a full version, but this time around, we have a full film that is readily available, an I have to say, hilarious!
The film Speedy was a box office hit when it was released in 1928. The film was nominated for one Academy Award, in the one-time only category of Best Director - Comedy. There are plenty of thrills and spills in this film and despite the (very brief) appearance of a certain finger gesture and somewhat of a melee near the end of the film, it's a fun film that the whole family can watch. Join me as I discuss Speedy.
