This summer we celebrate the dangerous comedy of Harold Lloyd, that unlikely daredevil in horn-rim spectacles. As Ed Park wrote recently in the Village Voice, “The glasses (which in truth had no lenses) made him more human, visibly imperfect. Thus the typical Lloyd plot is one of manhood attained, despite penury, apron strings, superstition, shyness. The motor is in the comic containment of chaos...and the perfectly machined action sequences, which transformed American cityscapes and pastoralias into scalp-tingling accident corridors.” In August, the Castro Theatre will present a Harold Lloyd retrospective.
