In 1947 the film The Sin of Harold Diddlebock
signaled the end to an illustrious career of one of Hollywood’s biggest
stars of the silent era. While the movie itself was not well received
at the time, produced way over budget, poorly edited and consequently
poorly received when it finally entered the theaters under a new name Mad Wednesday,
watching it now reminds one that there was another great clown out there
that could hold his own with the likes of Charlie Chaplin and Buster
Keaton. That great clown’s name was Harold Lloyd.

"Mad Wednesday" has a brilliant beginning, but the script peters out quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of Harold Lloyd hanging from the clock is, of course, from "Safety Last."
