Opisy(1)

Silent-comedy legend Harold Lloyd goes west in this irresistible blend of action, romance, and slapstick invention. The bespectacled everyman is at his inimitable best as Harold Hickory, the gentle son of a prominent lawman who lives in the shadow of his rough-and-tumble brothers. When a traveling medicine show rolls into town, it brings with it excitement, the possibility of love, and a chance for Harold to prove his mettle. Deftly balancing Lloyd’s brilliant sight gags and thrilling set pieces—including an epic, knock-down, drag-out fight aboard an abandoned ship—with one of the actor-filmmaker’s most fully realized, root-for-the-underdog narratives, The Kid Brother is a hilarious and heartwarming high-water mark of early screen comedy.

angielski Harold Lloyd didn't convince me with this film that he is a better comedian than Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton. I guess it's because of that silly expression that didn't sit well with me. Buster Keaton amuses me much more, also because his films are more stunt-filled, more athletic, and more thought out. "Safety Last" is fine, it's visible that Lloyd knew how to entertain, but I thought it would be better. ()
