'Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius' | Full Documentary Film | Full HD 1080

[@dianeruiz0721]

What an extraordinary man. I’m 63 (b. 1960) and have seen photos of Harold, and snippets of his earlier movies when present day comedians refer to him. I never ever realized the extent of his greatness in everything he touched. I think one of the reasons why later in life, his movies weren’t as successful is because they became somewhat predictable. He wasn’t new and fresh anymore and unfortunately humans get bored easily. Every performance he did he gave 110%. that’s why now we appreciate him so much. No one has ever been able to top what he has done. Buster, Keaton and Charlie Chaplin are certainly others in his league. We owe a lot to these men, for the success of Hollywood and all good movies that followed.

45+ years ago. I had an elderly uncle. He was nearing the end. Memory gone, didn't know my parents. But one day they went to visit him. Harold Lloyd came on the tv. and he started laughing. He was gone soon after. So I associate Harold Lloyd, with my funny old "Uncle Cook".

What about the Harold Lloyd films that used to be here? This channel (an official channel) was the ultimate resource to enjoy his work!!! That's what made it so special!!! It was a great place for fans, film buffs and historians. Without those feature films and shorts, this channel has not reason to be. As fans and huge supporters of the legacy of Harold Lloyd... I think we´re entitled to an explanation.

My dad had this on tape when I was a kid. We recently watched it again. ❤

[@Cherryberrygirl89]

Thanks for posting. Harold Lloyd was not only hilarious as all get but he was also very handsome. He had lots of charisma and talent and I'm glad I discovered him. 🥰☺️

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Safety Last! is one of the greatest action films ever made.

[@laurelandhardypodcast]

A wonderful documentary and a great part of Kevin Brownlow's trilogy on the three geniuses of silent comedy. It's great to see this and all of Harold's work so accessible and available for all to see. I'm not sure as to how or why you've decided to release these fabulous films on KZbin, but congrats to you for doing it. For years Harold's body of work disappeared from public view and his legacy unfortunately suffered for it. I'm sure that this channel will go a long way to bring Harold back into the hearts and minds of many, exactly where he belongs. Bravo and Hooray for Harold Lloyd!

[@HaroldLloydOFFICIAL]

Thank you so much for these kind and supportive words - this is EXACTLY why we're doing it - Harold's grand-daughter Suzanne and Harold Lloyd Entertainment are really forward thinking and progressive and, now all the necessary rights are back under one roof, it's time to bring Harold back to the masses where he belongs. He has been the 'forgotten genius' for far too long now!

I am 30 and only discovered Harold Lloyd recently, thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for posting this remarkable documentary!

[@selecttoursnyc7787]

I just watched this for the first time in maybe 15 years. It was made at the perfect time to capture so many people who worked with Harold and who could share their memories with his fans. It is such a wonderful tribute.

[@HaroldLloydOFFICIAL]

A lovely sentiment, thank you for sharing!

[@garryferrington811]

Even Roy Seawright (Roach's hardworking special effects man) is in here!

[@garryferrington811]

What a man! He was like a human dynamo, and a true gentleman. If you have seen a 35mm print of "Safety Last" in a theater, like I have, you have been blessed.

[@uffeandersen2165]

Thank you for posting this documentary in full for Mr Lloyd was/is a genius of comedy indeed and quite timeless in his gags. I'm on a personal mission of spreading the word by showing everyone I know little excerpts from his films and believe it or not the two I particularly like from Safety last are not exactly the climbs, though they are great, but the scene of the sales day fencing off women and even more the skulk-walk-jump when running late for work and avoiding his boss... A big

[@nanasewdear]

Harold Lloyd's films hold up well even by today's standards. My grandchildren loved them though they usually turn their noses up at silent and black and white films. That is quite an achievement, to enthrall the Tik Tok generation!

Just now i realize that in Hot water (1924) Lloyds mother in law was the same actress that played the southern mother in The Birth of a Nation.

20:25 what movie/short is that clip from? It doesn't say and I really want to watch it, it looks hysterical! When I typed in "Harold Lloyd Cowboy/western" It just bring up "The Eastern Westerner" Which is not what that clip is from.

[@freckled_eyes]

It could be from Billy Blazes, Two Gun Gussie, or Back to the Woods! I personally haven’t watched those shorts yet, so I’m unsure, but looks similar from the stills I’ve seen!

[@LaurieAtlas]

This is wonderful

[@picketfence9903]

Love you Mr Lloyd. See you in heaven.

[@theexpresidents]

That's weird....since neither of you are going there.

[@raptorfromthe6ix833]

Peggy Cartwright scenes were hilarious

[@ysgol3]

Brilliant, thank you! Harold was such a liar about the 'danger' he was in in Safety Last and the other similar pictures, and I think this documentary is the first time that was properly revealed. ( No disrespect to the great Harold, I reckon he was just mischievous about it, that's all!)

[@Bananadiva1]

Great documentary but I've always found the title rather insulting. Harold was clearly the ultimate silent comedy genius.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

He was behind Keaton for me but he was still amazing.

[@josephconsoli4128]

As a lover of all the great comedians, I'm almost ashamed to say that all I ever have truly known of Lloyd is the mentioning of his name and the clock scene in "Safety First". I think if he had transitioned into the the 1930's as well as Laurel and Hardy, his sound pics would've been played on TV and captured younger people. He was just too early. So many greats suffered the same fate being trapped in the silent era. To this day I have a very short attention span with silents.

[@canuckprogressive.3435]

He made lots of great talkies right up till 1947!

[@josephconsoli4128]

@@canuckprogressive.3435 That may be true, but, as much as I recall watching all the early greats on TV when I was young, I don't recall one Lloyd film. Like with Keaton, his style did not hold up as well as other silent film comedians such as L&H, Fields, and The Little Rascals.

[@canuckprogressive.3435]

@@josephconsoli4128 It is my understanding that Loyd did not want his films on TV.

[@josephconsoli4128]

@@canuckprogressive.3435 Okay. Then that explains it. Stan Laurel also didn't like his movies played on TV. He would get so frustrated with the time editing and commercials breaking up the continuity of the films. The problem was that only the old-timers who had their previous work televised would have their legacy secured.

[@canuckprogressive.3435]

@@josephconsoli4128 I learned about Harold from an old tv show called Hooray for Harold Loyd that played clips from his silent movies. That was a long time ago. I certainly did not see as much of him as I did of Chaplin or L&H. Im' glad to be able to see his work now on YT.

Lloyd and Keaton are better remembered than Chaplin.. sorry but it is true.

[@thenonsenseguy2364]

What are you even talking about mam ? I have never met a single person in my life who doesn't know who Charlie Chaplin is .

[@justinmorgan2126]

@@thenonsenseguy2364 You misunderstand, I am not saying that Chaplin is not remembered at all. I am simply saying that Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton are better remembered than Chaplin, I am saying they are better than Chaplin was. Both as actors and designers of the craft of pratfalling, slapstick and, sorry, but they are better visual comedians too.

[@thenonsenseguy2364]

@@justinmorgan2126 that is entirely Subjective as to who you find more funny it is not a fact . Also "better remembered" dude Chaplin was a far better Actor and director ( most his shots were wayy ahead of their time , his movies like " moerdern times " and "the great dictator " focused on then current Social political climate ) and also cherry on top , who had that longest standing ovation in Academy award history... Chaplin! ( I respect all of these men equally tbh , I don't like comparing or putting one down to praise another )

[@jackmorrison7379]

@@thenonsenseguy2364 I agree on the let's enjoy the specific talents and accomplishments of all of the big three, and not rate. Where I ask you to reflect is on the politics. Keaton and Lloyd have fans, Chaplin has a cult. It's in my opinion a political cult combined with an obligatory hero worship cult where people just "know" they must worship him. Some of the comments on Chaplin videos are just embarrassing: "the best actor ever"; "no one else can make me laugh"; "a genius beyond all others". I mean, get real. Movies have had hundreds of stupendous actors, and comedians and directors. Give me a break, cultists. Yes, he was a landmark actor/director in the movies, but he'd be embarrassed by the cult worship. As to the Oscar ovation, Hollywood had changed by then, and pulled Left and in their mind were correcting a wrong from the "Red Scare". Charlie was a man of the Left, Keaton mostly non-political and Harold an Eisenhower Republican. Easy as pie to figure out who gets the love, and who doesn't in modern Hollywood.

[@thenonsenseguy2364]

@@jackmorrison7379 I am gonna be honest here ... I literally have no idea about the political ideology of Chaplin, Harold or Keaton ( except for the fact that Chaplin was quite out spoken about the current social political issues in his films and that to in a very nuance way for the time ... apart from that my respect for him never came Beacause of his politics) I respect all these men individually and the reason why Chaplin is more popular is mostly Beacause he pioneered silent film comedy as we know it ( yes there were ones before him , but Chaplins was revolutionary) . I myself was born and brought up in India and over there when you talk about Hollywood stars in general Chaplin 's name shines even to this day ( no disrespect to Harold or Keaton) . I guess I just have a soft spot for Chaplin ( just my opinion) Also Chaplin was the creator of United Artist ( which exist to this day ) and even supported the creation of the Academy awards . So I guess making these big Hollywood hallmarks kinda gives you alot of popularity
