Delving into the atmospheric depths of A Lickpenny Lover reveals a master at work, the artistic provocations of A Lickpenny Lover demand a follow-up of equal intensity. These hand-selected movies are designed to satiate your craving for Comedy quality.
The enduring power of A Lickpenny Lover lies in to transcend the limitations of its 1926 budget and technology.
The action takes place in a hotel where there is a hard-boiled manager and a man-mountain of a chef. This chef takes a dislike to the society boy, who is forced to work out his board bill in the kitchen. The manager fires the chef, who immediately runs amok and chases the manager and his new assistant all over the hotel. During these pleasantries the boy's sweetheart arrives with a party of friends and she thinks that he is the new manager. Many embarrassing situations are turned into laughable moments here until the boy's father arrives and saves the situation by announcing that he has bought the hotel and that his son is now the manager. This eliminates both the old manager and the cook, and the girl accepts her present manager-lover.
The influence of Orville O. Dull in A Lickpenny Lover can be felt in the way modern Comedy films handle stylistic flair. From the specific lighting choices to the pacing, this 1926 release set a high bar for atmospheric immersion.
