Frank Capra's "The Strong Man" (1926)

Paul Bergot (Harry Langdon) is a Belgian emigrant to the United States who has fallen in love with Mary Brown (Priscilla Bonner), a blind woman. They met as pen-pals when he was a meek Belgian soldier, fighting in Europe during World War I. Mary even sent Paul a letter and a photo of herself.
After the war, Paul travels to America searching for Mary Brown by asking every woman he meets if she is Mary Brown. By accident he rescues her town from crooks and bootleggers.
A 1926 American comedy silent film starring Harry Langdon and directed by Frank Capra in his feature-length directorial debut. Along with "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," "The Strong Man" is Langdon's best known film. Capra would also direct Langdon's next feature, "Long Pants" (1927), which would be their final collaboration.

This is a masterpiece of comedic genius ! Chaplin and Keaton would be proud to make something this good. It's as good as both of them together, but original and hilarious in its own fresh way. Acting is superb, the gags are brilliantly set up and the story really engaging. What a treasure !

I agree. Frank Capra really knew how to make a movie. I worked for his son on "An Eye For An Eye" and was friends with his grandson back in the day. I actually met Frank Capra one time, in 1979. He came to a meeting at AVCO Embassy Pictures, where I was working, and when I saw him enter the Men's Room, I followed him in an told him how much I loved "Lost Horizon" and he related a story about cutting the beginning. Deja vu all over again, I experienced the same thing on "Escape from New York" a few years later.
