For Heaven's Sake review

Harold Lloyd in his prime as a multi-millionaire who thinks nothing of buying - and trashing - two cars in one day, and who funds a mission for the poor without realising it. He wants nothing to do with it until he spies the minister's comely daughter (Jobyna Ralston). Some decent jokes, an hilarious chase sequence, and a hair-raising race to the altar on a driverless bus help place this, perhaps lesser-known entry, amongst the comedian's better works.

One of the more death defying features from action genius Harold Llyod

(1926) For Heaven's Sake COMEDY ACTION DRAMAHarold Lloyd plays upper class and wealthy successful real estate investor, J Harold Manners accidentally burning down a missionary's coffee cart that was supposed to serve the poor. He then writes a check to Brother Paul (Paul Weigel) who in turn assumed he was supposed to use the money to open up an actual facility with his name left on the sign. Except that by the time he found out his name was used without his consent, he then goes straight down there to make the change, except that the young teenage lady who got angry after catching him tear the sign down had no idea he was indeed Harold manners. The one who donated enough money for Brother Paul to open up an actual facility, who introduce her to him as her daughter, Hope (Jobyna Ralston). And he goes head over heels over her who she tries to entice him to reform criminals who hang out at the pool hall, particularly Bull Brindle (Noah Young). Some of the innovative gags also include Lloyd managing to bring many criminals to participate into the missionary. As well as Lloyd making efforts to control five very wasted friends from hurting themselves and guide them safely back to the mission to get married to his love interest Hope. There is some death defying stunts that involves plenty of vehicles and an open top bus that would be hard to imitate if they are done now.
