Customer Reviews: Harold Lloyd; Some early delights March 1, 2006 37 out of 46 found this review helpful This Collection consists of 9 films (8 shorts 1 Feature) these are as follows; br /THE SHORTS br /Are Crooks Dishonest (1918) With Bebe Daniels Snub Pollard br /Neighbors (A.K.A. Just Neighbors) (1918) With Bebe Daniels Snub Pollard br /Bumping into Broadway (1919) With Bebe Daniels Snub Pollard br /His Royal Slyness (1920) With Mildred Davis Snub Pollard br /An Eastern Westerner (1920) With Mildred Davis Noah Young br /Number Please? (1920) With Mildred Davis Roy Brooks br /I Do (1921) With Mildred Davis Noah Young br /Never Weaken (1921) With Mildred Davis Roy Brooks br /THE FEATURE br /Grandmas Boy (1922) With Mildred Davis, Anna Townsend, Charles Stevenson, Dick Sutherland Noah Young br / br / All the films except I Do have a good musical score played by Neil Brand played on the piano only. I Do has a rather annoying full orchestral score. The films were all produced during Harolds Hal Roach period and feature his famous Glasses character. br /The Best films are; br /Bumping into Broadway the first reel of which with Harold trying to avoid paying his landlady is a delight. br /Number Please? Has Harold having fun at a funfair and trying to get the right telephone number (in a silent film!) br /Never Weaken A Masterpiece with Harold stuck on a skyscraper construction site (Note this is NOT the film where he hangs from the hands of a clock that was in the later Safety Last) the first reel of this film is often forgotten but has some wonderful comedy with Harold trying to find customers for his girls employer a doctor. br /Grandmas Boy Harolds second feature film is a real delight. Highlights include Harold eating moth-balls, capturing a tramp who has been terrorising the village, a civil war flashback and the concluding fight with the local bully. br / Harold Lloyd is to my mind the greatest silent film comedian and this D.V.D. is a real delight just what we in the U.K. have been waiting for, now how about a U.K. release of his other films? For those who havent seen them the later silents are pretty much all masterpieces especially Safety Last The Kid Brother "Speedy" I Love Harold Lloyd - I Hate this DVD set July 14, 2006 Jonathan Hutter (London, UK) 45 out of 50 found this review helpful As a huge fan of Harold Lloyd, I was excited to no end when this set became available, but my joy soon turned to sorrow when I realized that this set has nothing to do with the "Official" DVDs from America. Apart from the fact that these video transfers range from acceptable to mediocre, I feel duped that these are not all the authentic or original versions of his films! I also detest the music by Neil Brand. Someone put him in gaol. Where is Carl Davis when you need him??? br / br /Do yourself a favour and make new friends across the Atlantic...find a way to get the American release of the Harold Lloyd comedies. br / br /THE SHORTS br /Are Crooks Dishonest (1918) With Bebe Daniels Snub Pollard br /Neighbors (A.K.A.
