Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Ask Father is a 1919 one-reel comedy starring Harold Lloyd.In this one Harold is, as usual, trying to win the heart of a pretty girl. But the pretty girl is stalling Harold (and several other suitors) by telling each of them to "ask Father". Her father, as it happens, is quite rich and the owner of some sort of large business—and he takes a variety of draconian security measures to fend off unannounced callers. Harold, determined, sets out to get an audience with the father and ask for the girl's hand. In this he is occasionally assisted by another pretty girl, the telephone receptionist at the office, played by regular Lloyd co-star Bebe Daniels.One of the last films Lloyd made before the infamous episode with a not-so-fake prop bomb that cost him three fingers. Also a Call-Forward in a meta sense, as one scene has Lloyd climbing two floors on the outside of a building, the same building that he would famously climb in the classic Safety Last!.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |
