What It's About:

A master of silent comedy with an Everyman persona, Harold Lloyd starred in well over a hundred one-reelers and features, many of which starred his alter ego, Max. Drawing on films like "Why Worry," "Hot Water," and "Girl Shy," this omnibus film gathers the funniest gags and most memorable bits from Lloyd's repertoire of screen performances in the early twenties.

Why I Love It:

Though few people today know his name, Lloyd was once ranked alongside Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin as a talented writer, director, and antic funnyman. Here, we're treated to the train chase from "Professor Beware," Lloyd's fumbling with a magician's trick coat in "Movie Crazy," and of course, the infamous clock-hanging sequence from "Safety Last!" Full of frantic energy and comic verve, Harold Lloyd was an average-guy with an incredible comic gift, which too much of the world has forgotten. Here's your chance to introduce yourself and your family to this thrilling, hilarious artist.
