And know what? Just because you asked me not to, I now have the urge to sing Freshie for all to hear…and, of course, I’ll do that while I’m climbing/dangling from any tall buildings that suit my fancy. “Oh, why do they all pick on Freshie…?”

Due to your info, I requested the film from your Youtube connection Ric, and it looks as if he came up trumps. I will be watching it right away, and maybe give my first-time impressions.

My condolences, and may she rest in peace.

Alice

ALERT- Professor Beware is on YouTube for today only! It’s under another one of Ric’s channels (99whatsupdoc99) listed as an ‘encore’. A pretty good film, sadly not included in the Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection.

This is all the more poignant as I have lately been watching some commentaries and biographies on Harold, and was thinking (also reading) about Harolds home life at Green-acres (and of course including) his daughter Gloria. I also heard some commentary by her.
In fact I was just thinking how fortunate that she was still with us today…..alas that is no longer.

I pass on solicitations to Suzanne and the rest of the family,

Naveed

When I first saw it, I watched Girl Shy a couple days later, and I swear I saw him do that again! It looked like it happened after he tried breaking up with Jobyna, and the other lady, to whom he walked away with later in the scene, came around the tree towards him. It happened very quickly, and I’m not sure if I saw it right due to how fast it went by. It might have been his index finger- not sure -but it may not have.

One man on there has a couple of channels where he uploads hundreds of classic movies, and he does requests from anyone. I asked him in the comments section of his channel ‘ohpoopnotagain’ to post Professor Beware (you also should leave the year it was made in) and it was up in a few days. However, he posts videos he calls ‘ONO!!!’s which means they’ll only be up for one night. Professor Beware was one of those, but I’m sure Ric would be able to upload it again. I actually found it a bit funny, especially how Harold once shouted “Destiny does not wait for taxi drivers!” during the chase scene. And another scene looks very familiar to the one in Now or Never on top of the train…

Hope this will help,

Alice

By the way, Maddie, I completely agree with you. I just don’t understand how people can just write Harold off as being less brilliant than he obviously is… I think he’s better than Keaton and Chaplin! One look at popularity polls in the twenties tells you that. I think the main reason why so many are not aware of how great he truly is is because of the availibility of his films verses Chaplin’s or Keaton’s. At least we now have the Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection out now- I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have it already!
