Synposis:

Harold Hall, a young man with little or no acting ability, desperately wants to be in the movies.

After a mix-up with his application photograph, he gets an offer to have a screen-test, and goes off to Hollywood. At the studio, he does everything wrong and causes all sorts of trouble. But he catches the fancy of a beautiful actress, and eventually the studio owner recognizes him as a comic genius.

Harold Lloyd was one of the great comic stars of the cinema, a genius on a par with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. However, he came from a humble background, and perhaps this was the key to his affinity with “the ordinary man” who does extraordinary things.

Lloyd was born in Burchard, Nebraska, on April 20, 1893 and was acting at an early age with
theatrical repertory companies. He made his film debut as an extra in a 1913 one-reel film for the
Edison Film Company. He became friends with another extra, Hal Roach, and when Roach
formed his own film company, he invited Lloyd to join him.

Lloyd’s initial comic characterization was a tramp character called Willie Work. After a series of partings over money and subsequent reconciliations, Roach and Lloyd created a new character, called Lonesome Luke, which became popular, despite Lloyd’s dislike of imitating Charlie Chaplin, which the film distributor, Pathé, demanded.

Then Lloyd found the idea that was to become his trademark, and change him from a good comedian to a major star: the glasses. Lloyd persuaded Roach and his distributor to abandon Lonesome Luke and in 1917 Lloyd shed grotesque comedy clothes and characterizations for a pair of horn-rimmed glasses. In doing so, Lloyd created an American archetype, an optimistic and determined go-getter sporting spectacles and a toothy smile.

Lloyd retained the “Glass Character” (as Lloyd called his comic persona) throughout the rest of
his motion picture career, which spanned 34 years and over 200 comedies. Among his most
famous films are Grandma's Boy (1922), Safety Last! (1923), The Freshman (1925), The Kid Brother (1927), Speedy (1928), and Movie Crazy (1932).

Lloyd married his leading lady, Mildred Davis, in 1923, and the two remained
married until her death in 1969. The Lloyds built a magnificent Beverly Hills estate, called Greenacres, and raised three children: Gloria, Peggy, and Harold, Jr.

After retiring from films, Lloyd kept busy with various philanthropic activities, vigorously pursued
his many hobbies, and raised his granddaughter, Suzanne Lloyd. He was elected Imperial
Potentate of the Shriners in 1949 and worked tirelessly for the many Shriners’ Hospitals for
disabled children.

Lloyd was also a prize-winning stereo (3-D) photographer. He produced two
compilation films of his earlier work, Harold Lloyd’s World of Comedy (1962) and Harold Lloyd’s Funny Side of Life (1963), and was preparing further revivals of his best films before succumbing to cancer on March 8, 1971 at the age of 77.
