The Lunkhead is a 1929 Mack Sennett "all talking" comedy short. The plot involves a love story with a lunkhead farmer (Harry Gribbon), a beautiful girl who loves someone else (Thelma Hill), and her father (Andy Clyde). It got good reviews with The Film Daily saying "Gribbon and Clyde are a fine team and in this they have plenty to work with." Sadly it seems this movie is now lost.
Thelma Hill was one of Sennett's bathing beauties and she became a popular comedic actress. Tragically she became an alcoholic and died very young in 1938.
