Released – August, 1932 

Directed By - Clyde Bruckman

Starring – Harold Lloyd (Harold Hall), Constance Cummings (Mary Sears), Kenneth Thomson (Vance), Louise Closser Hale (Mrs. Kitterman).

Description – With stars in his eyes small-town Harold Hall sets off for Hollywood wanting only to be in the movies. A beneficial mixup in an application gets Harold an opportunity for a screen-test that was meant for someone else.

Anything and everything goes wrong for Harold providing him a rude awakening with one exception…he catches the eye of a beautiful actress. A series of mis-adventures and mis-understandings follow.

Will Harold become a star, and more importantly; will Harold get the girl?

NOTABLE:  Appreciation of this film was to come some time after it’s release. At the time Lloyd’s style of comedy was out of fashion and the Great Depression had taken a good deal of the fun out of movie fans.

In 1962, at the Cannes Film Festival, Lloyd produced a compilation of his films titled Harold Lloyd’s World of Comedy introducing him to a new generation.

Although Clyde Bruckman is credited as the Director, Lloyd himself directed most of this film due to Bruckman’s problems with alcohol.

Included In The Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection Vol. 3

Personal Comment: This film is considered by many to be the best of Harold Lloyd’s talking motion pictures capturing the comedic genius of his silent films.

Enjoy the very funny scene where Harold unknowningly dons a magicians coat unleashing comic chaos that include mice and a bunny on the dance floor.
