In this case, the great Carl Davis.

If you like this Carl Davis score, you should check out "A Hard Act to Follow" (avail. on YT), his masterpiece accompanying Kevin Brownlow's excellent bio of Buster Keaton. Davis also did a fantastic score to Keaton's early full-length film, "Our Hospitality." :)

Pretty sure most of the interviews for these series were filmed pre-1980, so Brownlow and Gill must have known they'd be making these documentaries for a while. Either that, or they built part of the docs around unused interviews!

They live on thru their work but with Lloyd the fire of his film library destroyed a lot of his work with no copies made sadly.

@@leemendham4788 the latter, I'm sure. Brownlow and Gill did extensive interviews for their 13 part series Hollywood. Brownlow is the consummate film historian.

I have too ! A great comfort in these terrible times.

@Giada Lovelace xxHistoricallyHauntedxx -SL Wonderful - what talents they both were !

I so agree with you

what do you mean by "the world is too much right now"?

Mmm mm m . Amen🙏

I want to know what speedy's first tune is called 😔

He's a million times better than Chaplin and it's absolutely criminal he isn't as famous or well loved as Chaplin!

I completely agree. I desperately yearn for the old days. I think the '80s was a golden age for quality documentaries. Now they tend to be less detailed and more biased to cater for the politically correct.

so hope one day Hollywood series gets to dvd but rights likely to supper that idea

Modesty that's why....fellow people of Welsh blood were the same way, like Alfred Russell Wallace, George Henry Thomas, George Everest, Frank Lloyd Wright. Never making a fuss about what they achieved.

And he was actually a very charming REAL comedian !

Thanks to Harold's amazing granddaughter, Suzanne, Harold is coming back to silent movie houses, TCM, and other wonderful things in the future. True talent like Harold's will never die, thanks to fans like you, Blowfeld20k. And yes, Harold was quite, and is, lovable! :)

Yes, Fileas Fog. Harold was an amazingly kind, and giving man. May he rest in light.

Funny enough that's where I first saw him on BBC2 clip shows... I can still hum the theme tune....

I can't watch it, I know he doesn't fall I just can't watch it.

@@phillipbooth5378 Hahaha, I know, it seems impossible what he did. This man was blessed with fearlessness, no doubt..

Thumb & finger isn't that catastrophic overall.

i guess Im kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?

@Evan Stephen Flixportal

Probably not

same years as me but on the bbc :)

Stan & Ollie ( movie ) is an excellent look at the later stage of their career, check it out if you haven’t seen it 👍

Same here. There was a sincerity to Lloyd and Keaton that no one else had, not even Chaplin.

Oh easily better. Never did get Chaplins appeal.

Harold Lloyd's best could not touch the best few films of Chaplin... HL was great, but Keaton and Chaplin were sublime artists.

Chaplin is grossly over-rated. His best film was 'Monsieur Verdoux', 'The Great Dictator' was ok but the rest merely meh. Lloyd, Keaton and even Laurel&Hardy were vastly superior to Chaplin.

@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 utter rot

Чаплин, Китон, Гарольд - замечательные режиссеры и актеры!

Indeed. For a time he made more money than Chaplin, Keaton or Laurel and Hardy. The Lloyd estate in newly developed Beverly Hills, CA., was larger than Chaplin's or Keaton's or even Pickfair of Douglas and Mary and certainly larger than Valentino's home. As to comparisons, it's really apples to oranges. Charlie C, created a character, the tramp. He never relied on thrill comedy, but situational comedy and character. later on he showed he could produce morality tales, "Modern Times" and then in sound, "The Dictator". HL as a kid under Hal Roach's direction did a knock-off of Chaplin but dropped it when he put on his glasses and boater straw hat. Chaplin doing his tramp character was not like us. Harold, most certainly to women I suspect, was the boy down the block. A lovable nerd who got the cute girl. Two very different styles. As to Keaton, I can't warm to his work at all. Terrific stunts and all. That deadpan expression and less than great plotlines. Nope.

You mean Chaplin's video clips on KZfaq gets many more million views then anyone else. It's like that for a reason. Chaplin will and always be the king of silent comedy.

I think one reason may be that Chaplin is the oldest, born in 1889, followed by Lloyd born in 1893, followed by Buster Keaton, 1895. The three greats. Who's the best is all one's opinion. For me, no one had the balls Keaton had.

Not better, just different. Chaplin and Keaton had completely different styles. Likewise Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. Can you choose between them?

I was expecting it to follow the first episode, what do we do now. Ha ha.

Glad you enjoyed old chap. Say hello to Oscar for me, won't you. Keep your portrait up.
