HOT WATER

Introduced by Suzanne Lloyd, Harold Lloyd’s granddaughter

♪ LIVE PIANO ACCOMPANIMENT BY STEVE STERNER

(1924) Morning, afternoon and evening of “one of those days” – Harold, with an armful of packages and a live turkey in a jam-packed streetcar; first spin in the new Butterfly 6, with back-seat driving from the front seat by Mother-in-Law-from-Hell; and the dinnertime chloroform mickey that goes awry. Approx. 60 min. 35mm.

MOVIE CRAZY

(1932) Mistakenly recruited for a Hollywood talent search, Harold finds himself at a formal party wearing a surpise-filled magician’s coat, botching take after take in his screen test, and attracted to a rain-sodden girl and a Latin spitfire (Constance Cummings in a brilliantly ambiguous performance as both).  Perhaps Lloyd’s best talkie; he was satisfied when a deaf audience was baffled only twice. Approx. 84 min. 35mm.
5:20, 8:30

“Lloyd’s top talkie… a film with impeccable timing, incredibly mobile camera work and highly distinctive and intricately choreographed long takes.”
