I found conflicting info RE: if Harold’s brother Gaylord Lloyd did stunt or stand-in work for Harold in “The Kid Brother” (1927) b/c there’s a few parts where it looks like him instead of Harold. BUT he was a 2nd unit director

“The Kid Brother” (1927) would be the 6th and final onscreen collaboration of Jobyna Ralston and Harold Lloyd.

Harold Lloyd would go on to consider “The Kid Brother” (1927) his absolute favorite of the 18 feature length films he made

Sadly, I couldn’t find any info on the female actress in “Accidentally” (1968) but whoever she is, she’s very compelling. I can’t take my eyes off of her

Next we have “Ouran” AKA “Accidentally” (1968) (https://youtu.be/y-UXuE3AjWU?is=MkbRK6VjnSGLmBC_) an early student film directed, written and starring Hong Kong auteur John Woo. There’s a few intertitles but you can get the action & plot of the film without them

While not too dissimilar to “A Trip to the Moon” (e.g. men going on an adventure), “Robinson Crusoe” is really sophisticated for a Méliès film from 1902

Prior to 2011 it was believed that “Robinson Crusoe” (1902)🇫🇷 was a mostly lost film as only a few scenes had ever been found intact. A copy of the entire film was then donated to The Cinémathèque Française film archive in Paris where it was restored

First up we have “Les Aventures de Robinson Crusoë” AKA “Robinson Crusoe” (1902)🇫🇷 (https://youtu.be/oWHtn6dr1JE?si=BeuU7T3WAtJeU-36) directed by and starring French wizard of early film Georges Méliès. It’s based on English writer Daniel Defoe's 1719 book of the same name, which can be read for free here (https://archive.org/details/cu31924011498676)

Everyone in silent era films would lose their minds at the idea of $3K a month rent for a 1br 1bath apartment (utilities not included)

The land lady straight up having her tenants beaten over the rent when the walls are absolutely filthy and there’s a full trash can in the hallway is really something

If you’ve ever tried to move an old time-y typewriter then you’ll be just as surprised as I am that Harold didn’t actually kill that old lady

Prune juice🤢

Next we have “Bumping Into Broadway” which was made before Harold Lloyd’s accident which cost him his right thumb, index finger and part of his right hand but was released after his accident. This is the debut of Lloyd’s glasses character
