(Writers In Literary Discussion) presents The Harry Langdon Film Festival (1924-1926). Who is Harry Langdon? At age 40, silent comic Harry Langdon parlayed his man-child persona into a string of hit Mack Sennett comedies. Working with writers Frank Capra and Arthur Ripley, he became a superstar. This festival includes His Marriage Wow (1925, Silent): A strange Dr. Caligari-like figure terrifies a young groom into believing that his new bride intends to murder him! Smile Please (1924): A photographer's attempt at a family portrait is totally laid to waste by a belligerent four-year old boy. Soldier Man (1926): A lost American soldier is kidnapped and forced to impersonate King Strudel of Bomania, to whom he bears a striking resemblance. The doughboy is only too happy to take the monarch's place, when he discovers he has a beautiful unsatisfied queen.
