Description:Often unfairly regarded as the ‘third genius’ of silent cinema (after Chaplin and Keaton), Harold Lloyd was actually more popular with cinema audiences in the 1920s than any of the competition.Best known for his ‘thrill pictures’—the iconic Harold Lloyd image sees him hanging from a clock face on a skyscraper high above the city—there is more to Harold Lloyd than stunts, spills, and thrills.His screen characters evolved, from Lonesome Luke to the ‘Boy’, better known as his glasses character, who featured in his best extended shorts of the early-1920s.He successfully navigated the change from shorts to features and then from silent to sound, all the while enlarging his audience and personal wealth. Harold put that money into Greenacres, his palatial Xanadu in Beverly Hills.Covering his films, from his earliest days through to his 1960s ‘best of’ compilations, as well as his personal life, Harold Lloyd (Silent Clowns Book 2) is a fresh look at the life and work of a true screen genius.The author is New York Times and Sunday Times best-selling writer BRIAN J.
