Harold Lloyd and a friend go to Coney Island

[@davidbrown8593]

Whenever I want to regain my sanity after a difficult day I go to You Tube and watch Harold LLoyd movies. Baack to a time when things were so simple and morals were important.

[@nolawest5183]

Wishing we'd still have some of those "RIDES" - I Love This.... Soooo Much Fun! Thank You!

[@jessicathethreestoogesfan2635]

Wow, Harold used to have fun

[@RareCandeh]

God I love this movie. So whimsical. Captures the raw beauty of the 1920's.

[@focusedmessagemarketing958]

I went on the spinning plate ride at Playland in Rye NY back in the 1960’s. They had a huge fun house filled with rides and games. Unfortunately it burned down. Anyone go to Playland? Scenes of it are in the movie BIG when Tom Hanks plays the fortune teller game.

One of Mr. Lloyd's younger friends, still with us, has said this about him: In many ways even in his old age, he was a big kid. Another actress now gone, has called him Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up. He loved jokes and magic and simple clean fun. In his younger days he was a great dancer. Though his kids said he had a temper if you crossed him, he was probably a lot of fun to be around.

This was such a beautiful, funny, heartwarming film. Thank you TMC.

[@erwache100]

This film represents a windowpane into the idyllic and innocent 1920s, a time of prosperity (until the stockmarket crash of 1929) and absence of wars. Love the ladies hairstyles and dress of that by-gone era.

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

One book had called the 1920s "The Lawless Decade".

[@missanthropist1294]

All of those rides look so unsafe. Coney Island in the 1920s was like Action Park: Beta Version.

[@KokoGogo1728]

They should really bring them all back, only this time, they should think about passenger safety.

[@AjaxNixon]

It's very weird watching something where all the people in it are now dead and gone. It's like seeing ghosts. But something is so substantial and mysterious about it all, that I can't help but think that maybe I'm the ghost

[@Tempe1962]

He looked a bit startled at the end of that slide, wonder if it was a real reaction.

When cinema was an art.

[@RedTango]

Great choice of music! Always interesting to see how a new "score" can change the mood of these old films into a strange and lovely melancholy. Isn't the footage of Luna Park wonderful? It was the Disneyland of its day.

[@AdorableFlapper36]

Probably my favorite Harold Lloyd movie. 'First one I ever saw and I love it so much!!

[@GoneWiththeWindLove]

The music is so pretty :D Nice clip :]

[@yves-noel-mariegonnet1043]

On adore Harold Llyod et ses partenaires féminines. Quelle dommage que les acteurs actuels ne travaille pas d'avantage le comique avec ce grand maître de l'humour! Il y a tout: acrobatie, cirque, autodérision, non-sens, impertinence, mimique, etc. etc. etc. L'humour actuel est d'une pauvreté... à faire pleurer.

[@jonathanpikecoleman8838]

This is from Lloyd's last film 1928 "SPEEDY". This thing is a patchwork, though!

[@jamesbobo]

This was not Lloyd's last film. It was his last silent film. He continued to make films in the 1930's. His last film was The Sin of Harrold Diddlebock in the in 1947.

[@jonathanpikecoleman8838]

@@jamesbobo No! Lloyds last film was MAD WEDNESDAY 1946.

[@jamesbobo]

@@jonathanpikecoleman8838 They are the same film. Harold Diddlebock was re-released with a different title.

[@jonathanpikecoleman8838]

@@jamesbobo Yeah! Gotcha!

[@barbarasprague]

One thing is Absolutely for sure and that is the fact that there is NO WAY they could some of those ride today! People would be falling off or faking and injury and... Suing For Their Financial Independence!!!

Looks more like Caramel Popcorn Balls to me!

Merci! Très drole!

[@michaelsaunders2118]

A lot of comments on the age of innocence. 1920's had more promiscuous and violent behavior than any other era. Bootleg liquor and racketeering.

[@paul1242]

Violence and promiscuity have always existed to some degree, but compared to today morals are worse than in the past. Today's clothes, music, movies and fashion all encourage the general downgrading of morals more than in 1920's. In the 1920's women didn't wear thong bikinis at the beach, didn't wear nose and lip rings and weren't covered in tattoos, musicians weren't making Satanic music videos, there weren't mass shootings at schools, etc. Things are much worse today.

[@darbyzworld]

This was not an actual film, a few thrown together clips and that's it. There is NO story line and many scenes repeat and out of any kind of logical sequence. Very poor. Harold would be the first to ditch this compilation being the perfectionist he was. THOUGH...off the set, Harold was as outspoken bigot and had many of the black workers removed from their jobs. Black actors were allowed on the set only if they were a featured player in the film. During the filming they were corralled to a different area so he would not have to lay eyes on them. This was NOT a pleasant man at all.

[@josephcalderon906]

+Patrick Darby McClintock Where did you find this info from?.and how do his granddaughter feels about her grandfather's bigotry?.

[@darbyzworld]

My grandfather worked with him as a lighting technician on many films.

[@josephcalderon906]

+Patrick Darby McCormack Was he far more racist than say w.c. fields ?.

[@focusedmessagemarketing958]

ANYTHING on Social Media should be suspect as to truthfulness.

[@ladywalker8200]

In an interview with Ernie Morrison who played Sunshine Sammy and who appeared in several of Harold's films, Ernie said he was treated very well by Harold and said there was no prejudice at the studio. This was in the days when racial inequality was commonplace. Harold was a product of his time and in later years he did a lot of charity work in the Shriners for crippled children, in his own words, regardless of race, colour or creed and as time went on became more modern in his thinking.
