Harold Lloyd was nothing short of a genius; he was certainly a master at what he did.

Harold was an American actor and filmmaker, most famous for his hugely successful and influential silent film comedies.

His films frequently contained "thrill sequences" of extended chase scenes and daredevil physical feats, for which he is best remembered today. The image of Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock high above the street in Safety Last! (1923) is one of the most enduring images in all of cinema. Lloyd did many of these dangerous stunts himself, despite having severely injured himself in a 1919 accident with a prop bomb that resulted in the loss of the thumb and index finger of his right hand (the injury was disguised on film with the use of a special prosthetic glove).

Here’s a quieter side of Harold’s comedy: I apologize for the quality.
