"It is a film about Youth" - Harold Lloyd
The Freshman (1925) is one of comedian Harold Lloyd's funniest and most timeless comedies. Lloyd, with his signature horn-rimmed glasses, embodied the reserved American hero that later became the model for the bespectacled Clark Kent of Superman fame. While a new romance blossoms, Harold joins his college football team in search of popularity and status but hits some stumbling blocks along the way. Filmed at USC and the Rose Bowl (during a UC Berkeley - Stamford Game), The Freshman transports the viewer back to the excitement of the campus and arena of yesteryear.
The Danbury Vaudeville Orchestra is a seven piece group composed of members of the Danbury Music Centre. The film score for The Freshman has been newly compiled from authentic silent film cues by Michael Bank who assisted in scoring silent films for the AMC channel.
