World of Comedy (1962)

A 5 star gem!!!

I first saw this movie in 1962 and remember rolling in the aisle at the hilarious antics of our bespectacled hero. I ordered it from Amazon 39 years later and time stood still. Running it with the family (now how many movies can you sit with all the family these days) I found my sides being split all over again. The word genius is overused in showbiz – but Harold Lloyd deserves to be called this and more.

Although the commentary is a little patronising (with every word appearing on screen and being read out slowly as well) there is no mistaking class when you see it. Whether he is hijacking a streetcar, driving round with his car in a giant tent or hanging from a clock from a high rise building, Lloyd reminds us what comedy is all about. I defy anyone to sit through this and not laugh. A 5 star gem!!! June 3, 2001

Funny as always

The most pure scence of comic interpretation.

Laugs and more laugs, with your family and kids.

Buy it, you will love it May 28, 2001
