Harold Lloyd in THE FLIRT (1917) 

This is a good sample of the silent era. Thanks for posting it.

AWW the Harold Lloyd marathon on TCM was today I almost spent all day in front of the TV I love Harold Lloyd!

Harold Lloyd is one of the greatest! His 117th birthday just passed.

bringing back the old days................ lovely!!!! wat a nostalgic feeling dis brings to me. though was a child, i remember the joy and happiness it use to give me..........................glad 2 see it again.

It's dated 1922 because this was transferred from a Pathex home movie created for hand cranked projectors. The original theater release date was 1917. I just uploaded one I transferred as well which is also dated 1922 but released 5 years previously. "Rainbow Island."

I still love the old banana peel routine! I may have this on a DVD I received from Kino Video;I'll have to see.

I literally did spend all day watching the marathon haha He's soo lovely

As a child in the late 70s Harold Lloyd was on BBC2 followed by The Innes Book of Records. It used to be on on a Friday, which was Fish'n'chips day in my family. To see this now at the age of 39 has been a true pleasure. Thank you.

thanks for sharing..my most favorite comedian

This is one of the best Harold Lloyd's clips he's ever made he's pretty hot! Especially with his round glasses

This footage is actually from 1922 if you check the roman numerals at the start of the clip.

Thank you for posting this gem by the way the year isn't 1917. MCMXXII = 1922 ;)

I allways remember the theme but i haven't seen it since i was like 6 or 7 about 20 something years ago damn im getting on

One of Harold Lloyd's coolest clips to watch as a silent actor he's pretty hot! He's best known as his unusual round glasses.

right on :) i love his films! cracks me right up :-D

Funny that he still looks and moves something like Chaplin here: hasn't worked out all the details of the Glass Character yet, including his distinctive jaunty, somewhat tense and choppy walk and gestures, and his patented run (what I call "the bird in flight": his arms shoot straight out like wings, then he takes off like the Roadrunner, beep-beep and he's gone!)

I see this is a transfer from a Pathex reel. I just found such a reel at an antique store in Tucson, but not having a Pathex projector I couldn't watch it. Thanks for posting this!

only a shadow of the great things to come (come harold. . .)

Happy Birthday Harold Lloyd!!! (April 20)

OUCH!! I've been in that situation way too many times... =/

The restuarant owner is played by Snub pollard.

My guess is that 1922 is when copyright was applied for it, or that it was rereleased in that year. It was definitely 1917, because Bebe Daniels, who is Harold's leading lady here, was no longer working in his movies by 1922.

I mention Lloyd in The Celebrity Song.

The waiter is played by Snub pollard.

This is top notch stuff!

nice. found this video from your link on alt.movies.silent what company put out the video that you got on ebay?

i love harold llyod! expecally his move "movie crazy"

0:07 = how can this be 1917 when the actually credits show MCMXXII which is 1922 !!!!

IIRC it was on before "Monkey" on friday afternoons

that's how toy Hendrickson is with me

Filum says "Copyright MCMXXII", that is 1922. Why does the title say 1917?

uhm sorry to lower the tone but, damn what a great arse! my favourite silent actor =]

and Lillian frothy gish sisters

@retrohippie Sure you could -- if you weren't black, Jewish, Irish, a woman, or a member of other groups to numerous to name . . .

@journeymanwriter Complete rubbish. They'd hire anyone who could make them more money! NO group was excluded IF they could make them more money.

False.
