The Sin of Harold Diddlebock

Rating:
Summary: Very Underrated
Review: This film is generally reviewed as a failed Sturges movie. However, anyone who loves the insanity of movies like "The Miracle of Morgan Creek" will probably love this one too. This film stands up to repeated viewings. It would be great to see a DVD with both "Mad Wednesday" and the slightly different cut "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock."

Summary: Five-star hilarity....family has watched it numerous times!
Review: This is a hilarious comedy! My family has rented it numerous times, then we were disappointed that it disappeared from the video rental stores. It gets off to a bit of a slow start, but gains comic momentum and has you rolling in the aisles (off the couch?) It ends up being quite a different movie from what you think it might be at the beginning. It takes a comic look at a man briefly using alcohol to escape his work-induced depression, and eventually finds true love in the end. But getting to the end takes you on a hilarious, mad-cap, nerve-wracking roller-coaster ride! Harold Lloyd is a forgotten comic genius whose work equals that of Peter Sellers, Rowan Atkinson, Charlie Chaplain, and others of the same caliber. I am excited that I can purchase this comic gem from Amazon.com!

Summary: Harold Diddlebock it would be a sin to not see it
Review: This was so funny. Made me think of the Bringing up Baby, and Philadelphia Story and some of Lucille Ball's antics. Sight gags and rapid funny dialogue. First few minutes kind of slow but once it gets going it was hilarious. I loved the bartender scene. As a fan of movies made before 1960, I cannot understand why I have not heard about this movie before. I can only say it is funny and you will enjoy it. I would let my grandchildren watch this movie.

Summary: Every kind of comedy styling all in one film...
Review: What makes this film truly great is how many different styles of comedy it has. You see not only slapstick and situation based comedy, but also some fabulous dialog and scare comedy. I didn't want to watch this movie at first, thinking it'd be a run of the mill b/w film, but was amazed, and immediately rewound and watched it a second time.
