Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Leap Year is a 1921 romantic comedy film directed by James Cruze, starring Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.Stanley Piper (Arbuckle) is a wealthy young man who lives in a lavish mansion with his uncle Jeremiah. Stanley is in love with his uncle's nurse, Phyllis. When Jeremiah fires Phyllis in a fit of pique, Stanley asks her to marry him. Unfortunately for Stanley he has a reputation for being a "trifler" who falls in love with every girl he meets. Phyllis demands that he prove he isn't a skirt chaser. Uncle Jeremiah, in a misguided attempt to keep Stanley away from women, sends him on a "fishing trip" where there won't be any women—to Catalina Island, which is packed with eligible young women."Leap Year" was a feature film, one of only a couple that Arbuckle made before the September 1921 death of Virginia Rappe led to Arbuckle being falsely accused of rape and murder. The film was shelved, receiving only a limited release in Europe in 1924. It is more of a romantic comedy than the knockabout slapstick Arbuckle was famous for, and is an indication of how he might have grown as a filmmaker if tragedy hadn't intervened. It was a Missing Episode in America for decades before receiving an art-house release in 1981.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the Amy Adams rom com Leap Year. Oddly, does not feature Leap Day. | |

| Leap Year (1921) / int_43e36f2f | comment |
Acrofatic: Arbuckle was known for his nimbleness despite his size. Here he dances a graceful jig after Phyllis tells him she's open to a proposal, and he shows more skills when faking seizures later. | |

Accidental Proposal | |
| Leap Year (1921) / int_6547ce31 | comment |
Accidental Proposal: Poor Stanley does this three times in rapid succession on Catalina. He kind of brings it on himself, like when he tells Molly "what you need is a husband" after Molly has a breakup with her boyfriend. | |
