Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy (1962)

Silent comedy-star Harold Lloyd personally selected his funniest scenes for this hysterical compilation. Our bespectacled hero always seems to go from one set of troubles to another. Contains classic bits from such gems as "Why Worry?," The Milky Way, "

Fine Compilation

Here we can see the wonderful persona of Harold LLoyd. He was not only a great acrobat, but a very funny performer -both in the air and on the ground. Excellent compilation of his greater moments on film. July 23, 2008

greatest hits or great primer....it works as both!

If you are a fan and own all of Harold Lloyds available DVDs...you may have virtually all the clips on this compilation but I do and maybe in this ADD world its nice to have a "greatest hits" of sorts to throw in the DVD player when you aren't as interested in character and story and just want to be remined of Mr Lloyd's particular genius. For those out there who don't own the staggeringly wonderful newline Box Set....this is a great intro...if you find yourself wanting more after this...that's the place to go..and if this turns out to be a curiosity..you saved big bucks.
The quality of the prints isn't quite up to the big box set standards..but generally they are pretty good, certainly miles ahead of the kinescopes of 50's TV if that helps.
