Criterion Collection has subsequently acquired the home video rights to the Lloyd library, and have released Safety Last! Game Resident Evil 4 Pc Full Rip. , The Freshman, and. Harold Lloyd: Magic. Harold Lloyd's 'Safety Last' (1923), like all of his films, was preserved by the comedian but rarely shown; having been through most of Charlie Chaplin and virtually everything by Buster Keaton, I viewed it for the first time last week, and it was my first Harold Lloyd.

Occupation Actor, comedian, director, producer, screenwriter, stunt performer Years active 1913–1963 Spouse(s) ( m. 1923; d. 1969) Children 3, including Harold Clayton Lloyd Sr. (April 20, 1893 – March 8, 1971) was an American actor, comedian, director, producer, screenwriter, and stunt performer who is best known for his films. Lloyd ranks alongside and as one of the most popular and influential film comedians of the era. Lloyd made nearly 200 comedy films, both silent and ', between 1914 and 1947. He is best known for his bespectacled 'Glasses' character, a resourceful, success-seeking go-getter who was perfectly in tune with 1920s-era United States. His films frequently contained 'thrill sequences' of extended chase scenes and daredevil physical feats, for which he is best remembered today. Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock high above the street (in reality a trick shot) in (1923) is one of the most enduring images in all of cinema.
Lloyd did many dangerous himself, despite having injured himself in August 1919 while doing publicity pictures for the Roach studio. An accident with a bomb mistaken as a prop resulted in the loss of the thumb and index finger of his right hand (the injury was disguised on future films with the use of a special glove, though the glove often did not go unnoticed). Although Lloyd's individual films were not as commercially successful as Chaplin's on average, he was far more prolific (releasing 12 feature films in the 1920s while Chaplin released just four), and made more money overall ($15.7 million to Chaplin's $10.5 million).
