About Girl Shy
Harold Meadows is a shy, stuttering bachelor working in a tailor shop, who is writing a guidebook, The Secret of Making Love, for other bashful young men. Fate has him meet rich girl Mary, and they fall in love. But she is about to wed an already married man, so our hero embarks upon a hair-raising daredevil ride to prevent the wedding.
Directed by Sam Taylor, Fred C. Newmeyer, Girl Shy leans on a strong ensemble — Harold Lloyd, Jobyna Ralston, Richard Daniels — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1924.
