‘In Speedy, [Harold] Lloyd plays a baseball obsessed New Yorker so preoccupied with the game that he is unable to hold down a permanent job. Because he drives a taxi for much of the film, Lloyd was able to incorporate far more location footage than can be found in most other silent-era New York productions. The company shot on Wall St, beneath the 59th Street Bridge, at Coney Island, and in front of the Plaza Hotel and Yankee Stadium.’ Richard Koszarski
