Made just prior to Harold Lloyd’s classic The Freshman (1925), Hot Water is an episodic look at married life and in-law problems. Adventures include a ride on a crowded trolley with a live turkey; a wild spin in a new auto with the in-laws in tow; and a hilarious sequence in which Harold accidently chloroforms his mother-in-law and is convinced that he has killed her. When she begins sleep-walking, he thinks that she has returned to haunt him!

A wonderful companion to Friday night's Silent Comedy Gala at Colston Hall don't miss this rare chance to see this underrated Harold Lloyd gem on the big screen.

With an introduction by Oscar winning director and film historian Kevin Brownlow and live piano accompaniment by Daan van den Hurk.

Please note: This event replaces the originally planned screening of Eddie Cantor’s Kid Boots (1924) which was unfortunately cancelled due to print access issues.
