Silent-comedy legend Harold
Lloyd goes west in this irresistible blend of action, romance, and
slapstick invention. The bespectacled everyman shines as Harold Hickory, the
gentle son of a lawman who lives in the shadow of his rugged brothers. When a
traveling medicine show rolls into town, it brings with it a chance for Harold
to prove his mettle. Deftly balancing Lloyd’s brilliant gags and thrilling set
pieces, including an epic fight aboard an abandoned ship, The Kid Brother
is a hilarious and heartwarming high-water-mark of early screen-comedy. (US, 1927, 82min., Silent | Dir. Ted Wilde)
