My grandfather directed this movie!

Amidst a sea of Netflix dystopian mediocrity - an enjoyable, heartwarming movie with faith in humanity. An education, too - I thought Harold Lloyd only made silent films. Thanks for this - a real gem.

A satire of the whole structure of Government & Politics in so called Western Democracies. I agree, one of Harold Lloyd's best !

A very much unexpected pleasure. Thank you.

I saw this as a kid. It's still funny. Thanks you the upload.

The best movie Harold Loyd has ever made! Unbelievable that critics and contemporary audience failed to appreciate such gem.

When Harold Lloyd passed away in 1972, my father said ''No mirth left in this word !''

I watched this when I was a young boy. I can never forget this incredible show!

Great movie thanks for posting

Love Harold and Buster too....they are so cute in their "bubbling nerdiness"

Never knew Lloyd did these kind of movies. A big change from his usual comedies. This was fantastic! A thousand thanks!

A good Harold Lloyd movie. Where was it hiding all these years.

I loved this and HAROLD Lloyd..he is amazing..

I just love Harold Lloyd.

" You're so honest in your dishonesty that at heart I believe you're honest."

so amazing how Life is,...all of those people in and involved with this movie are long gone, yet they still live on and seem alive today because of film.

This is a great movie. It tells the truth about our so-called "democratic" election process and what happens if a candidate who wasn't supposed to win actually does win. Another great one is "The Dark Horse" with Warren William and Guy Kibbee.

Mr Lloyd has been my favorite since silent movies this was a very funny movie thank you

Awesome movie love Harold he was great

Harold did absolutely incredible stunts silent flicks but this talky shows his real acting talent !!. Marvelous. Thanks all. Dave

Harold is so cute and funny to me 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hooray for Harold Loyd!

What a great movie, just wonderful. Chinese in a way, a very good way. Thank you so very much.

I watch all his movies with my dad and that was more then 40's years ago iam 53 years now and I still love watching his movies 👌👍🇿🇦

Excellent movie classic is the best it’s so funny this movie you have to watch it ❤️‼️

Always been a Lloyd fan but somehow, I missed this gem- thanks!

Channel 8 in Houston TX used to play old Harold Lloyd movies, when I was young. Thank you so much for this one. It was alwayez my favorite of his talkies!

Better than most of today's movies!!! IMHO:)

Love this movie 😂thanks for posting 😊

An unexpected movie with quiet humour and uplifting message. I also only thought Harold Lloyd made silent movies. THE CAT'S PAWN interesting in so many ways. Very well worth the watch.

Simply phenomenal 👏 Thank you for posting it this awesome gemstone It should be taught in every Political Science class and a prerequisite before running for any official public office position.

He was low key handsome.

So simple, yet very entertaining movie. No blood, guts, foul language or violence of today's flicks. Thanks for posting.

Good political satire (some things never change). The ladies in the floor show are wearing pasties, so it's an early 1934 movie just before the "CODE" took effect in the latter half of '34. Thanks for posting this old gem.

Interesting look back in time. Different values and levels of PC. Liked the movie.

I can't believe I never saw this one before. How relevant! I nearly fell off my chair laughing.

Having spent plenty time in China I can relate to some of this story and philosophy. The overt racism was harsh, abrasive, but true to the times (and hasn't changed much IMHO). I've always been a BIG fan of Harold Lloyd and thought I'd seen all his movies (this one by his own production company) but missed this somehow. And I wouldn't have appreciated it as much if I hadn't spent all those years in China. Poignant look at the politics of an American city in the 1930's. 💖 🇨🇦

This is not a comedy, though I laughed when they brought the heads off and tricked to corrupt politicians. It was a satire of the political system that is very real these days too.

Fun movie. Whoever sewed his glove did a great job.

THANKS FOR THIS ONE NEVER SAW IT BEFORE

Regardless how strong back-up the team had when making the movie , they have been against some very , very dangerous people. And made a fine comedy too. Courageous, funny and up to date. I recommend "Water" 1985 with Michael Cane

I was bored stiff for some reason at first watching this (but I wanted to finally see a Harold Lloyd movie), until he was elected mayor! Then it got both interesting and amusing, now I'm a Lloyd fan! God Bless Everyone!

Wonderful! Genius writing, directing and performances. My only quibble is with Una Merkel's costumes. She's a trifle too well-dressed for a cigarette and magazine vendor at the height of the Great Depression.

Love this movie!! ❤😅

Really enjoyed this movie! Thank you 😊

Love this movie! The story, and actors are quite realistic to their characters. Political corruption in the late 1920s-30s 🤔 Nearly a century ago; sadly not much has changed in politics. 🧐 Wouldn’t it be a wonder for an “Ezekiel Cobb” to show up in 2024, and win?! 🤗

Delightful!

I am familiar with Harold Lloyds silent pictures. Its an enjoyable movie with some laugh out loud lines. I think I'll buy the DVD before someone objects and the movie is removed! It was a different time.

Balanced frame composition And in black n white! Near flawless, even were you to pause and paint one single frame, your choice of frame. They had a knack to study. As I endeavor to paint canvas' w Balance, the great film production pioneers impress and inspire me.

OMG! They speak! 😱

He would make a marvelous Mayor,lol,this story is funny!!!!

great film!

Thank you.

How about George Barbier in this movie? He really makes it

"He could commit murder on the city hall steps and still be reelected." Sounds familiar.

Just darling!😍

Very enjoyable thanks for posting.

thank you.

Harold Lloyd was handsome

WHOOPS WARD ROBE MALFUNCTION AT 38 MINUTES IN ~~YEP A PRE- CODE MOVIE !!! LOVE HIS SILENT MOVIES THE BEST

Ah ! This exposes American politics. The problem is the number of this type of "Hero Missionary" is getting less & less in America, on the contrary corrupted high official as "Commissioner- Moriarty" is on the rise. Most of the public representatives are just pet doggies of the super-rich business magnets. The common people are just fooled to understand that America is a heaven, it is a matter of great shame that the common people of America have forgot John Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln and other such great people who once lead America. This type of movies are just jewels, they are just like good books which injects knowledge of right and wrong.

Lloyd's greatest films were silents. Lloyd and Buster Keaton were daredevils and hilarious.

I guess getting confessions while under duress didn't apply in those days. Good movie anyway.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

What a great movie. I love Una Merkel as well.

Are you there Diane?

A real sweetie

I was pleased to see that they used actual Asian actors

1:35:47 I laughed out loud when the big Chinese guy came out clean off that blade. The faces on those guys was hilarious. 1:35:51 he was a great character and has been in many many movies ( Nat Pendleton) . The black actor has been in many movies, what a great face he had. I don't belong to this gang" It was a great touch when the German started to confess but the Mayor - look on his face is priceless - didn't know what he said but the big Chinese man spoke German. 1:37:59 That whole scene was genius.

Harold channeling the Donald at 9:16

So much for the separation of church and state

Just a great movie!

Funny movie!

I am convinced that this film was partially an apology for some of the stereotypical, oriental gags in "Welcome Danger".

Every circus needs its clown.

A beautyfull teach

What a wonderful comedy. Oh my gosh, it starts with Biden vs that other guy, then the chosen weak candidate dies. Wondering about someone’s health? Easily identify with Mr. Cobb, have been lost among politicians too. Also ancestors were missionaries in Asia, family has ability with languages, including Asian.

Does anyone know: At 47:33 Lloyd says, "She was right; a cat's paw." ... I don't recall anyone saying "Cat's paw" in the movie before this. Anyone know? (Great little movie!)

This a perfect perfect movies

Fun and politically relevant for today

pre code and pre miranda vs arizona movie.

Simply wonderful movie save for Lloyd’s goofy sounding voice! Lol!

I've never seen this one before. There's some sharp social and political satire. I can pass on this one, though. It's at least half an hour too long, as well.

Movie that is funny, is pleasure to watch. Ling Po

R.I.P. MF DOOM

When they round up the criminals ... at 1:20:05, what's the deal with busting in on the 'village people" at the 'men's athletic club'? How crazy that immorality was treated by the police as a crime. Today, that sort of behavior is awarded with gov jobs and presidential bids.

Boa comédia

14:30... What other candidate said these same words?

Really enjoyed the story...it was a great piece of theatre...but the language referring to Black and Chinese ethnicity was a blaring jolt...and the raw face of uneducated societies across the World....America wasn't the first to require slaves for their profit...the Arabs have been trading humans since the times of Aladin!😝

Una Merkel, the leading lady.

HELLO

Meh, it's OK. That from A Harold Lloyd fan. The storyline is very thin and predictable. Not his best sound picture. In terms of dealing with corrupt politics, it's not exactly Citizen Kane.

We should learn a lot from China 🇨🇳 🤪

If those signs said instead “BIDEN FROM CHINA!” It would have been prophetic!
