Harold Lloyd
Silent film comedy great, Harold Lloyd, answers the questions in the 大象传媒 Home Service's pioneering interview series. From 1962.
Silent movie comedy great, Harold Lloyd, answers questions from Liam O'Leary and Peter Duval Smith.
Heralding from the same era as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Harold was one of the most popular film comedians of the golden age of silent film in the late 1920s.
After he started acting aged just 12, Lloyd reveals he never wanted to be a matinee idol.
He also attributes his success to a good cameraman and carefully crafted stunts.
Frankly Speaking was a completely novel and ground breaking 大象传媒 series.
Launched in 1952 with three interviewers initially, the series was both unrehearsed and unscripted.
First broadcast on the 大象传媒 Home Service in August 1962.
