I attended a screening of "Safety Last" at the Wilturn Theatre in 1971. Harold appeared in person and his long time friend, Gaylord Carter accompanied the film playing the Kimball pipe organ. The house sold out, one of the best nights of my life!

He died pretty early that year, so could you tell me which month and day this was?

Harold Lloyd ist fantastic. And it's interesting how the scenes from later films like Silver Streak, Fear Over the City, Nevada Pass or Mission: Impossible are anticipated here.

At 8:15 Actor Lloyd and producer Hal Roach spliced into the train roof sequence, film footage taken on a mountain railway (long gone) above Altadena CA. A mockup of the train coach roof was mounted on a flatcar with a cameraman and Lloyd hung over a steep drop on the mountain railway. The rest of that sequence is clearly on a flat landscape in Southern California. Nothing like this will ever be seen again as CGI and green screens and concern for star actor safety have made it all a thing of the past. The mind-bending fact is this: Lloyd did these stunts with one good hand. His right hand thumb, index finger and palm were blown off in 1919 in an explosion of a real bomb mixed in with prop bombs. He is wearing a prosthetic right hand here.

All the more interesting, and remarkably acrobatic, since Lloyd by this time had lost half his right hand in a prop bomb accident. A tightly-fitting prosthetic, often accompanied by gloves, created the illusion of two full hands. Notice when he moves that he favors the left hand, and tends to hide the right hand when it has to remain still in the shot. One such example can be seen starting around 4:45. Lloyd holds onto the train by hooking his right elbow over a bar (thereby hiding the hand, and not requiring it to support him), and undoes his belt with his left hand. He then begins to work it into a lasso, of sorts, but if you slow the film down and freeze it at 4:49, you'll see that the process involves him holding the belt in his right hand between two fingers. Lacking a thumb and index finger, this is the first spot on his hand that can actually grip something. Lloyd is known for working hard to disguise his injury, quite successfully, but once you know what to look for, you'll see him favoring his left hand.

Le plus grand commique qui fesait vraiment ces cascades était le génie buster keaton . Il etait incroyable lorsque je regarde depuis toujours ces films je me dit qu'elle force en lui devait il avoir quand il fesait une scène très difficile pour gardé malgré l éffort intérieur ce visage impassible . Ceci dit il tournait parfois très drôle et il lui arrivait de rire buster devait ce concentré pour refaire la scène buster était unique . Harold était drôle avec son personnage de monsieur tout le monde a qui il arrivait des tas de problèmes . Comme harry langdon je l admire lui aussi . Après ils y a stan et ollie et alors je les adores passionnément comme le grand buster qui adorait stan et ollie . Buster ira a l enterrement de stan en 1965 avec ça femme Aleonore . Des grands personnages éternels et intemporels du 7ème arts.

8:36 to 8:43 they simulate movement with an endless belt with a scene on it that rolls past. Watch the scene repeat itself at least 5 times! They use this trick to this day. On "Runaway Train" Rebecca DeMorenay falls on a coupler between cars and the ties and ballast going by is a belt. The cars don't move...

Shame on the video editor who is guilty of stretching 4:3 aspect ratio material to fit the 16:9 screen or committing the video atrocity of BBC (Blow-up, Blur, Crop) 4:3 aspect ratio films and video (or 4:3 films transferred to video) to fill the 16:9 frame. Doing "click to fill" may look OK on a computer screen (other than the unnaturally overly large images) but on a TV the loss of resolution is terrible. You are taking standard definition video and degrading it to substandard definition video. You are also altering/censoring the carefully composed and framed 4:3 aspect ratio images by the historical cinematographers. Leave 4:3 alone!
