As usual, activate the subtitles for the movie titles. :) What's your favorite Harold Lloyd film? Let me know!

Gotta be "Safety Last" although the one with the horse-drawn Streetcar has be a close second. He was briliant. Looked like such a (what they called back then) bookworm (Geek, Dweeb) but he was so buff and athletic. Bet he could place quite well in the Decathlon or some other Olympic event. Thanks so much for this, I've got all his movies in my repository ...you know, for safe keeping for viewing after the world ends 🙂

@@acehandler1530 Great movies indeed! I have a soft spot for "For Heaven's Sake" personally. You're right, he did look like a bookworm with his glasses, though apparently he was a real Chad (or a "Sheik", to use 1920s slang) in real life.

Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd - unbelievable that these great comedians were all working at the same time and born within six years. So much genius was given at the same time.

There was also Roscoe Arbuckle, whose career got destroyed by false accusations. We probably missed countless more great movies!

@@tvrsmani Stan Laurel made a few silents before being paired with Hardy; he wasn't all that successful at the time because his light blue eyes didn't appear on early film stock, so, directors didn't want to hire him. (He looked like a zombie, on the old acetate film)

@ruthm.6071 Год назад

Thanks for reminding us of what a brilliant talent Harold Lloyd was. So sad that people today don't really know of him.

@misterwhyte Год назад

You're welcome! I think the reason he's not more remembered is because he asked for huge amounts of money to allow theaters and TV stations to show his films. So they ignored them, eventually leading him to be greatly forgotten. He shot his legacy in the foot, sadly.

@ruthm.6071 Год назад

I also think that it hurt the films terribly when Lloyd himself added music and some narration to some films in about 1962. The music added nothing. It was just wrong for the films. I had seen the 60s versions on TV, and wasn't interested. Then years later I saw "The Third Genius " on PBS and sat there laughing out loud at the gags and stunts. Also, my favorite part of "Safety Last" is not the famous wall-climbing. It is the department store sequence. Really funny bits, and (it seems) a look at what everyday life was in the 1920's.

@johnnyjames7139 Год назад

Safety Last was screened at the Wilturn theatre in Los Angeles around 1970. Harold spoke before the movie. Gaylord Carter accompanied the film playing the big Kimball pipe organ. A near sellout for the first time in years. One of the best nights of my life!

Гарольд Ллойд,один из моих любимых комических артистов, немого кино! У него,были очень сложные трюки! Он даже повредил руку и снимался в перчатках! Гарольд Ллойд,в своё время конкурировал с самим Великим Чаплиным! Но Чаплина показывали в СССР,так как,он симпатизировал большевикам,а фильмы Ллойда, не показывали в Советском Союзе! Фильмы , Гарольда Ллойда ,я увидел первый раз ,по телевизору, в 1982 году ,когда служил в Польше,в Советской Армии! Потрясающие немые комедии! Память об этом выдающемся комике, останется навечно в памяти людей! Хорошо,что есть Интернет! РЕСПЕКТ- мистеру Гарольду Ллойду!

@jackmorrison7379 Год назад

Bravo! A noble comment. It is sad that Mr. Lloyd is mostly unknown to young Americans, his own country. The internet may change that with his films on You Tube and on the pay website The Criterion Collection. He made more films than Chaplin and Keaton combined although many before 1919 are lost, most of his later films 1920 forward survive.

@shoknifeman2mikado135 Год назад

Of the "Big 3" silent comedians, Harold has always been my favorite, with Keaton 2nd and Chaplin in 3rd place; more or less the reverse of most people. His greatest film (IMHO) is my fave, SPEEDY, with the Freshman in 2nd place.

@misterwhyte Год назад

Personally I put Keaton number 1, Lloyd number 2 and Chaplin quite far behind. I never thought he was particularly funny or inventive but I know I'm in the minority here haha.

@@misterwhyte I agree about Chaplin. Never found him that funny. Lloyd has always been my favourite. It's so sad that Lloyd doesn't get the recognition he deserves these days. His output was far greater than Chaplin's and made more feature films than him. I recall getting home from school in the 70s in time for BBC2's half hour compilation series Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy (or something like that), with the catchy 'Hooray for Harold Lloyd' theme tune. Happy days...

I agree, Jobyna Ralston was the best of his leading ladies. I find he had more chemistry with her than with Mildred Davis, despite being married to her his entire life! How ironic!

@@melissacooper8724 Who knows? On screen chemistry doesn't always translate to real life chemistry and vice-versa. It wouldn't have been surprising though, he did date his first leading lady for many years (Bebe Daniels) before marrying his second one.

Wasn't he missing a thumb on his right hand?

@misterwhyte Год назад

Yes, he was missing both his right thumb and index. He had a glove with two fake fingers to hide that. He lost them by grabbing what he thought was a prop bomb and lighting it with his cigarette. It's lucky he only lost two fingers and not the whole hand. It happened in 1919 so before almost everything you see in this video, which makes some of his iconic stunts even more impressive!

@misterwhyte Год назад

It's just a way for him to keep a consistent look throughout his films. Back when movies were silent, physical apparence was essential to build a persona. That's why Chaplin and Keaton also developed a strong visual identity, though Keaton was a bit more flexible - apart for his stone cold face.

Do you know what movie he fights a military officer that was sitting in a wheel chair in? He sees the man steal from, and then push a woman, he goes over and kicks his butt. The officer's men come running over so Harold hides, once they run past him he beats up the officer again, and then again and again. It was so funny! I just saw it yesterday for the first time and I really want to see the whole thing. I was told it was from Grandma's Boy, but I watched it and didn't see the scene. I even went back and watched it in 2X just in case. If it's there I'm just not seeing it. Please help! I wanna go laugh some more

@misterwhyte 10 месяцев назад

Tough one, I've seen most of his films but a little while ago now... Based on the description, maybe "A Sailor Made Man" or "Captain Kidd's Kids", but not sure. I'd try those if I were you. Now if you just want a good laugh, his best films in my opinion are "Safety Last", "Girl Shy" and "For Heaven's Sake". Hope this helps.

@mrq6270 Год назад

I never heard of this guy. Thanks for enlightening me. Buster Keaton is still my favorite though. This Lloyd fellow just lacks the charming quirkiness of Keaton.

@mrq6270 Год назад

@@misterwhyte the one scene that I did recognize was him hanging from the clock. Lloyd seems a little closer to action/comedy star than clown.

@misterwhyte Год назад

@@mrq6270 His movies are honestly in the same vibe as Keaton. There's usually a story about a girl, he's being clumsy or naive or something and there's a big chase or stunt at the end. The biggest difference is that where Keaton keeps a stone cold face, Lloyd is very expressive, smiling a lot, making faces, etc. The biggest reason he got kind of forgotten is because he was asking for A LOT of money for his films to be shown anywhere, so the screening of his films were rare and the public kind of forgot about him. Had he been more reasonable, I'm sure he'd be as famous as Keaton and Chaplin.
