Bumping Into Broadway
Directed by Hal Roach
Produced by Rolin Films
A lighthearted silent-era comedy about a struggling playwright's romantic gesture and lucky streak, built on physical comedy and the charm of early cinema.
A young playwright spends his last cent to pay the past-due rent for the pretty dancer who's his boarding house next-door neighbor. Soon after, he winds up at a gambling club, where he wins big - just before a police raid.
