5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and funny, August 19, 2006

This review is from: The Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection Vol. 2 (DVD)

Harold Lloyd was a top star in his day; and for good reason.

Harold's "Kid Brother" and "The Freshman" are in this volume-2. They are very funny, entertaining, clever, and well worth seeing.

Harold's films have a girl he is trying to win, bullies, chases, and clever humor. The "Kid Brother", in the old west, has the youngest brother outsmarting his bully, older brothers. "The Freshman" is the perils of a freshman college student falling prey to some clever pranks of the upperclassmen.

These silent-films are not movies with just music; they are planned so you understand the action, just by watching, at a good pace. A lost art. I did not care for Harold's later talking-pictures.

Harold was funny, when chased by bullies, as Harold was short, skinny, had straw-hat and glasses, looking unathletic. So convincing, film critics today still believe him frail. However, Harold was very able, he was very quick, nimble, balanced, and had unusually strong, climbing strength; getting him away from those bullies just in time.

Harold's "Safety Last" is his best. (In the other volume-1, or in the 3-volume-set). I recommend volume-1 first, then volume-2, or the 3-volume-set. Volume-3 has "Speedy", which is funny, but not as good as the these others, "Speedy" does show Coney Island amusement park rides in the 1920's, a scene with Babe Ruth, and volume-3 has a 15-minute extra of Harold's palatial estate.

I remember watching Harold Lloyd as a kid. When I came across these DVDs I had to try at least one. The DVD and reproduction quality are excellent, I'm very pleased at with buy. As a kid I remember Harold Lloyd being funny but now that I'm an adult I can really appreciate the genious and humor even more. A great DVD - I can't wait to buy the rest of the set.

We "found" Harold Lloyd films on TMC when they were have a Harold Lloyd day. I have never been a silent movie fan, but this guy was so funny we watched several. I had to have the one talkie, "Feet First". Harold Lloyd is a funny guy and pretty athletic to do the stunts he did.
Him being stuck on a scaffolding going up and down a building was hilarious.
