Seven Chances
Seven laughs a minute!
A frenetic, good-natured silent comedy built on a ticking-clock premise, where physical gags and romantic mishaps pile up as a desperate man races to find a bride before midnight.
Struggling stockbroker Jimmie Shannon learns that, if he gets married by 7 p.m. on his 27th birthday -- which is today -- he'll inherit $7 million from an eccentric relative.
