[quote] Sinopsis / Synopsis
Dirigido por el legendario director Frank Capra, Harry Langdon compone su papel más encantador en este atractivo y completamente hilarante filme que representa vívidamente la gran tradición del slapstick americano. Después de cumplir su deber en la tierra de nadie de la Primera Guerra Mundial --donde repele a los enemigos con una honda leal-- un estupefacto joven belga (Langdon) llega a Estados Unidos y busca a su amiga por correspondencia (Priscilla Bonner) cuyas cartas levantaron su ánimo durante el calor de la batalla. Sin embargo, para Paul la tierra de las oportunidades se convierte en un mundo de confusión, mientras la búsqueda de su amiga lo conduce desde un percance a un cómico desastre.

Under the direction of legendary director Frank Capra (It's a Wonderful Life), Harry Langdon is at his charming best in this handsomely produced and utterly hilarious film that vividly represents the great tradition of American slapstick. After a tour of duty in the No-Man's-Land of World War I -- where he repels the Huns with a trusty slingshot -- a witless young Belgian (Langdon) comes to America and seeks out the dedicated pen pal (Priscilla Bonner) whose letters lifted his spirits during the heat of battle. But for Paul, the land of opportunity turns out to be a world of confusion, as his quest for Mary Brown leads him from mishap to comic disaster. [kino.com]
Frank Capra's debut feature tells of a Belgian soldier who emigrates to America to meet his pen-friend sweetheart without knowing she is blind. Langdon, like Keaton, lost his way with the coming of sound, but this remains arguably his finest work, twinning Chaplinesque pathos with the magic-tinged innocence of Stan Laurel. In many ways it's almost an autobiographical text from Capra, who got his start as a Mack Sennet gagman, and this comedy is driven as much by character as by slapstick. "...the picture stands today as one of the most perfect comedies ever made". [Kevin Brownlow @ moviemail-online.co.uk]
