About This Item
Ny: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1964. Dust jacket notes: "Harold Lloyd is unique and so is this book about him. A comedic immortal who has returned to the limelight recently with two enormously successful reissues of his own film classics, he has talked at length to William Cahn about the 'golden age of comedy' he knows so well. Mack Sennett, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Mabel Normand, W. C. Fields, Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers - all come to life in personal reminiscences and in more than two hundred photographs in this handsome volume. Mr. Lloyd's anecdotes on the comedy of yesterday are supplemented by penetrating comment on today's admired comics - Lucille Ball, Red Skelton, Jack Lemmon, Dick Van Dyke, and others, from those carrying on the great traditions of slapstick to the recent 'sick' phenomenon. Mr. Cahn, author of many successful books, makes a specialty of working with words and illustrations to portray an era or an individual, thus achieving a new dimension. In Harold Lloyd he has found ideal material." . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. Illus. by b/w Photos.
