Video

Need to get a Harold fix but not near a DVD player or a smart theatre playing one of his films? Well, you have found your special page: I have compiled (and will continue to add) some of my picks for the best video links of HL (collectively, let us give thanks for YouTube). And, of course, if you have a favorite that is not here, by all means add it via Comment. Enjoy! And may these clip fests make you want to add HL to your home viewing library!!!

 (A clip compilation set to “I’m Too Sexy,” edited by ME in 2002)

(My featurette on the Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection DVD; 2005)

(Playlist of the TV series that started it all for me: Harold Lloyd’s World of Comedy, produced by Time-Life)

(HL in Character Studies, circa 1924, costarring Carter DeHaven, Buster Keaton, Roscoe Arbuckle, Rudolph Valentino, Douglas Fairbanks, and Jackie Coogan … an adorable glimpse of the stars in propria persona … well, kind of …)
