The Freshman with live musical accompaniment—Cinemix Film Series

THE FRESHMAN (Sam Taylor & Fred C. Newmeyer, 1925, 16mm, 77 mins)
Live musical accompaniment by Donald Sosin! 100th anniversary screening! Harold Lloyd heads to college in his biggest hit, and makes the grade with one of the most famous sports sequences ever filmed. An eager freshman fumbles his attempts to fit in—from football tryouts to the Fall Frolic—but can he bounce back at the Big Game? “A perfect blend of comedy, romance, and meditation on football’s pop-culture origins” (John Bengtson). 16mm print from the Yale Film Archive. Co-presented by the Yale Film Archive and Bass Library.
