'The Kid Brother'

The Kid Brother is Harold Lloyd's best film. It is about the town of Hickoryville and its sheriff, Jim Hickory, and his three sons, the youngest and weakest being Harold.

By far, the most interesting aspect of the film are the "gags," the bits that the writers and Lloyd would write into the film. For example, the chase scene of Lloyd as he's getting chased and the series of elaborate hiding opportutnies. Or how Lloyd washes the clothes, drying on the tail of a kite.

Lloyd was one of the most prolific actors of the silent era rivalling Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Lloyd made 12 films in the 1920s compared to Chaplin's three. Furthermore, Lloyd made about $15 million in his career, while Chaplin barely paid the cable bill at $10 million.

He know how to spend it, certainly. His Beverly Hills home -- Greenacres -- took four years to build and included 44 rooms, 26 bathrooms, 12 fountains, 12 gardents and a nine-hole golf course.

A small price for stardom.
