AFI Movie Club Rewind: THE FRESHMAN

This film was originally selected as an AFI Movie Club pick on September 29, 2021.

The underdog story of a young man attempting to join his school’s football team, THE FRESHMAN was named among the greatest comedies of all time by the American Film Institute. It is produced by and stars one of the most enduring legends of the silent era – the great Harold Lloyd, whose earnestly unassuming, bespectacled screen persona is among the most timeless in cinema history. Lloyd shared his genius with the very first class of the AFI Conservatory in 1969 as its very first speaker – which gave the school’s signature seminar series its name, the Harold Lloyd Master Seminar.
