5.0 out of 5 stars greatest hits or great primer....it works as both!, June 23, 2007

This review is from: Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy (DVD)

If you are a fan and own all of Harold Lloyds available DVDs...you may have virtually all the clips on this compilation but I do and maybe in this ADD world its nice to have a "greatest hits" of sorts to throw in the DVD player when you aren't as interested in character and story and just want to be remined of Mr Lloyd's particular genius. For those out there who don't own the staggeringly wonderful newline Box Set....this is a great intro...if you find yourself wanting more after this...that's the place to go..and if this turns out to be a curiosity..you saved big bucks.
The quality of the prints isn't quite up to the big box set standards..but generally they are pretty good, certainly miles ahead of the kinescopes of 50's TV if that helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine Compilation, July 23, 2008

This review is from: Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy (DVD)

Here we can see the wonderful persona of Harold LLoyd. He was not only a great acrobat, but a very funny performer -both in the air and on the ground. Excellent compilation of his greater moments on film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Harold Lloyd's Greatest Heights, November 5, 2009

This review is from: Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy (DVD)

Encouraged by the popularity of Robert Youngson's silent-comedy compilations, Harold Lloyd (who owned all his films) assembled this 1962 anthology. A moderate box-office success, "World of Comedy" includes classic moments from the bespectacled genius: iconic clock hanging in "Safety Last" (1923); the inventive jail escape in "Why Worry?" (1923); and the exciting "get to the church on time" climax in "Girl Shy" (1924). Oddly enough, there are sound sequences from "Feet First" (1930), "Movie Crazy" (1932) and "Professor Beware" (1938) - which suffer in comparison to the golden age of silence. For many years, this 94-minute collection provided film buffs with the only access to Lloyd's work.
