Take a Chance, (Alfred Goulding, 1918)
I enjoyed Buster Keaton's The General so much the other night that I've queued up several silent films. After watching the grim, but brilliant, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, I watched Take a Chance, a delightful 1918 Harold Lloyd short, to walk back from the edge. I suppose I shouldn't count shorts, or in this case a one reeler (which never go beyond 10-12 minutes), but all sorts of different options showed up in the 2025 list of books read, so I should be honest on this front as well. It's just another reason to love the Criterion Channel.
