A Girl, a Guy and a Gob

A Girl, a Guy and a Gob is a 1941 RKO Pictures American comedy film produced by Harold Lloyd, directed by Richard Wallace and starring George Murphy, Lucille Ball and Edmond O'Brien.

An incident on the street ends in a brawl in which Stephen is knocked unconscious, Coffee Cup takes him to the Duncan house to recover.

Stephen awakens to the chaos of the Duncan household and is so delighted by Dot's boisterous family and friends that he accompanies her and Coffee Cup to a dance hall but forgets about his date with his fiancée, the snobbish Cecilia Grange.

During the wedding rehearsal, Coffee Cup misplaces the ring, and when he leaves the room to search for it, his sailor friends suggest that Dot is marrying the wrong groom.

[1] In a contemporary review for The New York Times, critic Theodore Strauss called A Girl, a Guy and a Gob "a rib-ticklish little comedy" and wrote: "Maybe the film is a trifle overlong, but most of it is extremely funny.

... All the concomitants of the Lloyd sure-fire formula for good, clean humor are utilized, including the chase of motorcycle and taxicab.
