“Bull Brindle was so tough he wouldn’t eat lady fingers unless they had brass knuckles.” Great feature movie of Harold Lloyd featured in 1926, he had already a reputation and his character had also his main and non-transferable essence. This movie is about a wealthy…

Rewatch thoughts: For Heaven’s Sake was made by Harold Lloyd at the apex of his popularity and artistic success. Sam Taylor’s direction and the interesting cinematography are particularly noteworthy. The film is more packed with gags with a higher hit rate than many of his…

This hourlong Harold Lloyd class comedy caper gives Buster K a run for his money in the death-defying stunts (too bad he was about 10 decades too early for the induction of that Oscar category). For one, Lloyd stands right there touching a car parked across a train track…
