Visualizing the convergence of Manny Gould's style and the core Short narrative.
Movie star Krazy has his pick of beautiful girls, but one grotesque, huge snout faced gal must have him, so she goes through a grueling beautifying process that she hopes will make her look like Jean Harlow. When finished (better, but not Harlow!) she invites Krazy over to her house where she traps and chases him around.
Decades after its release, Love Krazy remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying Manny Gould's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
