The Strong Man

Under the direction of legendary filmmaker Frank Capra, Harry Langdon is at his charming, childlike best in this handsomely produced and utterly hilarious film that vividly represents the great tradition of American slapstick. After a tour of duty in the No-Man's-Land of World Wat I, a witless young Belgian (Langdon) comes to America and seeks out the dedicated pen pal (Priscilla Bonner) whose letters lifted his spirits during the heat of the battle. But to Paul, the land of opportunity turns out to be a world of confusion, as his quest leads him from mishap to comic disaster.
