If you found yourself captivated by the artistic bravery of The Cloudhopper (1925), the profound questions raised in 1925 still require cinematic answers today. Experience the United States influence in these recommendations that echo The Cloudhopper.
The Cloudhopper remains a monumental achievement to provide a definitive example of Stephen Roberts's stylistic genius.
The action opens in a charity bazaar in the heroine's home and her mischievous little brother is responsible for a lot of the comedy. Larry plays a dual role, that of the hero and of a chap who is too fond of his hootch. A couple of conspirators try to steal a secret formula. The crooks steal the formula and escape in an aero. The heroine follows in another machine. Larry climbs a rope ladder and gets aboard. Then follows some cleverly handled scenes in which thrills are mixed with comedy with Larry fighting the crooks and coming near falling from the plane, and the supports and wires give way with him. Of course he wins out.
