The Harold Lloyd Collection (Slapstick Symposium)

Rating:
Summary: Of course...
Review: ... it was about time they start releasing Harold Lloyd. And I hope too this DVD is only to ease the waiting for "Safety Last !". And, as usual, since it's not only his best one, but as well a small masterpiece, it is doomed to be released after a whole heap of crap from TV series (sorry for the redundancy) which should never had been made in the first place: but, since the studios' motto seems to be "Garbage First!!".....

Summary: The GREATEST silent clown on DVD...AT LAST!!!
Review: At the time of posting this review, this DVD hasn't been released yet...but with a respected name like KINO producing this collection it has to be top quality! The Art Of Buster Keaton, Harry Langdon The Forgotten Clown, and the Arbuckle & Keaton collection that were released by KINO were stunning...and I'm sure that these new releases (Lloyd, Charley Chase, Stan Laurel) will be just as wonderful.

If you're a fan of Harold Lloyd, or slapstick comedy in general, you'll love the films in this collection. PLEASE buy this DVD...the more interest in it, the better the chances are that more collections will be released in the future. The films of Harold Lloyd MUST be seen by this generation and generations to come. They have, sadly, been collecting dust for far too long...thank you, Suzanne Lloyd for giving us a handful of your grandfather's work...PLEASE release more of the films, in these troubled times the world needs an escape and a good laugh...and no one can make us laugh harder than the master...Harold Lloyd.

Summary: IT'S ABOUT TIME! HOORAY FOR HAROLD LLOYD!
Review: HALLELUJAH! It's ABOUT TIME that the TRUE KING of silent comedy (Sorry Charlie) gets his due on DVD! With that said, GRANDMA'S BOY has our man doing what he does best. He's an everyman who almost anybody can relate to trying, in this case, win the girl and defeat the town bully. Sounds familiar and hackneyed? Not so. Harold Lloyd's genius was his ability to make you empathise with him as a person and not merely as a character to laugh at.

Many people in their thrities and forties today remember the syndicated 1970s televison show HOORAY FOR HAROLD LLOYD which introduced us to the true king of silent comedy who should have taken his rightful place among the Little Tramp and the Bus man.

To the folks at KINO and AMAZON-BLESS YOU! Now if you'll bring out other Lloyd classics such as SAFETY LAST, WHY WORRY, and THE FRESHMAN (Step right up and call me Speedy!) lovers of TRUE CLASSIC COMEDY will LINE UP to buy this stuff and be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. MERCI BEAUCOUP!
