Time for another review.

Lead section

• "The plot of the film has a cranky farmer, disliked by his entire town, head to New York." Suggest rewriting to: "The plot of the film is about a cranky farmer, who, disliked by his entire town, decides to head to New York"
• "and was also released in Britain under the alternate title" I would suggest changing Britain to United Kingdom.
• "with the New York Clipper finding it a welcome relief from the "pie-smashing" antics of other comedies." I suggest linking "pie-smashing" under low comedy.

Plot

• I noticed you linked New York in this section but not in the lead.

Reception and legacy

• I suggest changing the title of this section to "Release and reception"
• Any reason why the film is lost?

References

• Link the publishers of these sources if possible.

Placing it on hold for now. I will promote once the issues above are addressed. good888 (talk) 15:09, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Good888: - Fixes done. To answer your questions "pie-smashing" to low comedy results in a surprise link and the reference is likely to actual pie-smashing. The film is presumed lost, but there is no single reason for these being lost and I cannot cite anything direct for this. Thanks for reviewing.
