    Description

    Release Date: 16 April 2007

    By 1917, Harold Lloyd had grown tired of his Chaplinesque figure Lonesome Luke and, along with his producer Hal Roach, developed the "Glasses Character" with whom he would achieve worldwide fame. This 'Harold' was a more mature comedy character with greater potential for sympathy and emotional depth; an eager young all-American, willing to risk anything to achieve his goals - invariably a girl, played by Bebe Daniels or Mildred Davis.

    Featured here is the "Glasses Character" in many of his popular shorts, films that perfectly illustrate his trademark comedy style - athletic, enthusiastic, and quick-paced. Harold Lloyd had found a truly unique character, one who
    would seal his place in the pantheon of silent comedy greats.
