My grandfather directed this movie!
That is so awesome..he did a great job and what an honor to work with Harold Lloyd.
That is so awesome 😎 such a fun movie 🍿
That's so cool. I love the old Hollywood version of Six Degrees of separation/Kevin Bacon. They showed "Safety Last" at an older theatre near me last year, brought in a guy who played the Wurlitzer (!! ❤️) and also Harold Lloyd's granddaughter was a guest for an after show Q&A! She had so many cool stories of being at her grandad's estate, it was huge and a great place to visit as a child.
Got to love the classics❤
Wow, so your grandfather was Sam Taylor!! What a wonderful Director! What a talent he had to work with, the genius of HAROLD LLOYD. ❤
@@dianeruiz0721 Yes, I would have loved to have heard his stories working with Lloyd, but he passed away when I was a baby.
A satire of the whole structure of Government & Politics in so called Western Democracies.
I agree, one of Harold Lloyd's best !
Amidst a sea of Netflix dystopian mediocrity - an enjoyable, heartwarming movie with faith in humanity. An education, too - I thought Harold Lloyd only made silent films. Thanks for this - a real gem.
The best movie Harold Loyd has ever made! Unbelievable that critics and contemporary audience failed to appreciate such gem.
The Milky Way a talkie, is a very funny Harold Lloyd movie 🍿 I watched it this morning !😊
A very much unexpected pleasure. Thank you.
I watched this when I was a young boy. I can never forget this incredible show!
Never knew Lloyd did these kind of movies. A big change from his usual comedies. This was fantastic! A thousand thanks!
Love Harold and Buster too....they are so cute in their "bubbling nerdiness"
When Harold Lloyd passed away in 1972, my father said ''No mirth left in this word !''
Your dad was right on point
This is a great movie. It tells the truth about our so-called "democratic" election process and what happens if a candidate who wasn't supposed to win actually does win. Another great one is "The Dark Horse" with Warren William and Guy Kibbee.
Amen to that.
This has so much applicability to today.
Cat Cook, Yup, it tells the truth about the evil corrupted demon👹crat party.
It's a well-worn movie trope. I guess the longest drawn-out joke along those lines was "Veep".
I agree, crooked elections seem to be the norm in this country 😊
I saw this as a kid. It's still funny. Thanks you the upload.
I just love Harold Lloyd.
" You're so honest in your dishonesty that at heart I believe you're honest."
I loved this and HAROLD Lloyd..he is amazing..
so amazing how Life is,...all of those people in and involved with this movie are long gone, yet they still live on and seem alive today because of film.
In a way, they are still alive, thanks to cinematography.
They come back to life in my world, on my tv everyday 😊 no new crap movies 🎥 on my tv😊
Great movie thanks for posting
Awesome movie love Harold he was great
A good Harold Lloyd movie. Where was it hiding all these years.
Channel 8 in Houston TX used to play old Harold Lloyd movies, when I was young. Thank you so much for this one. It was alwayez my favorite of his talkies!
Hooray for Harold Loyd!
Harold did absolutely incredible stunts silent flicks but this talky shows his real acting talent !!. Marvelous. Thanks all. Dave
What a great movie, just wonderful. Chinese in a way, a very good way. Thank you so very much.
Like the CC reference, lol.
Mr Lloyd has been my favorite since silent movies this was a very funny movie thank you
Harold is so cute and funny to me 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Always been a Lloyd fan but somehow, I missed this gem- thanks!
Exactly!
I watch all his movies with my dad and that was more then 40's years ago iam 53 years now and I still love watching his movies 👌👍🇿🇦
Better than most of today's movies!!! IMHO:)
Agree 100%
An unexpected movie with quiet humour and uplifting message.
I also only thought Harold Lloyd made silent movies.
THE CAT'S PAWN interesting in so many ways. Very well worth the watch.
So simple, yet very entertaining movie. No blood, guts, foul language or violence of today's flicks. Thanks for posting.
You must not have seen the latest Spongebob Movie. It was a masterpiece of no foul languages of cinema.
It’s a great movie..glad it was posted
@@RichardHannay uh huh
Excellent movie classic is the best it’s so funny this movie you have to watch it ❤️‼️
He was low key handsome.
I would go beyond that and say sexy. Just like gah so hot 🔥 like damn 😍
Mr. Lloyd was Stunningly Gorgeous... 😍😍😍...look at the early silent films .. 'His Royal Slyness' an excellent example.. 😋😛 ..
'low key' ?!?..😮🙄 .I strongly suggest an eye exam and corrective eyewear...👓🤓..just my humble opinion...😃
@@jmason2838 honestly besides my husband the hottest person I ever laid eyes on was Harold Lloyd
😂
Simply phenomenal 👏 Thank you for posting it this awesome gemstone
It should be taught in every Political Science class and a prerequisite before running for any official public office position.
This is not a comedy, though I laughed when they brought the heads off and tricked to corrupt politicians. It was a satire of the political system that is very real these days too.
Most of the movies that came up when I searched for comedies have notbeen come8. The saving grace has been the snappy dialogs
I Found it hilarious. The humor was very subtle...not like today's movies that pound us over.thehead
I can't believe I never saw this one before. How relevant! I nearly fell off my chair laughing.
THANKS FOR THIS ONE NEVER SAW IT BEFORE
Love this movie 😂thanks for posting 😊
Interesting look back in time. Different values and levels of PC. Liked the movie.
Having spent plenty time in China I can relate to some of this story and philosophy. The overt racism was harsh, abrasive, but true to the times (and hasn't changed much IMHO). I've always been a BIG fan of Harold Lloyd and thought I'd seen all his movies (this one by his own production company) but missed this somehow. And I wouldn't have appreciated it as much if I hadn't spent all those years in China. Poignant look at the politics of an American city in the 1930's. 💖 🇨🇦
I'd say politics hasn't changed at all from then to today.
Lol. The chinese are pretty racist, and cucknadian politics are too corrupt and fascistic to be throwing shade at others. And btw, that's an accurate representation of an American city, but one run by socialists, both in the 30s and the present...
Overt racism? Yes, from the BAD people. The Chinese are shown as the good guys and the Americans as the bad guys. The very fact that the fillm was made proves that most Americans at this time viewed racism as a social evil
Good political satire (some things never change). The ladies in the floor show are wearing pasties, so it's an early 1934 movie just before the "CODE" took effect in the latter half of '34. Thanks for posting this old gem.
Are they wearing nude covered clothes that only make them look nearly naked?
@@Tempe1962 Doesn't look like it, looking closely I think that is real skin. The Hays code was technically in effect at this point but this was the year it was first strictly enforced because it's the Year Tarzan and his Mate came out. There were scenes in that where, well let's just say you could see all of Jane. And that movie was pretty much the last straw and they started enforcing the Hays code strictly, this movie obviously came out right before that.
Fun movie. Whoever sewed his glove did a great job.
Ikr?!
He was such a great star he could have gotten away without wearing it.
@@Tempe1962 Perhaps, but the public might have been grossed out by it. Either that or they would have spent more time looking at his hand than watching the film.
Agree
Regardless how strong back-up the team had when making the movie , they have been against some very , very dangerous people. And made a fine comedy too. Courageous, funny and up to date. I recommend "Water" 1985 with Michael Cane
Wonderful! Genius writing, directing and performances. My only quibble is with Una Merkel's costumes. She's a trifle too well-dressed for a cigarette and magazine vendor at the height of the Great Depression.
I was bored stiff for some reason at first watching this (but I wanted to finally see a Harold Lloyd movie), until he was elected mayor! Then it got both interesting
and amusing, now I'm a Lloyd fan! God Bless Everyone!
The night club scene is where I lost it. Genuine lol.
BRUCE F CARD: god doesn't exist.
@@jaycosgrove9765 ,,,, Isaiah 53
"The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their ways are Vile; there is no one who does good.
God looks down from Heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
Everyone has turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
Do all these evildoers know nothing? They devour my people as though eating bread; They Never Call On God."

Love this movie! The story, and actors are quite realistic to their characters. Political corruption in the late 1920s-30s 🤔 Nearly a century ago; sadly not much has changed in politics. 🧐 Wouldn’t it be a wonder for an “Ezekiel Cobb” to show up in 2024, and win?! 🤗
Ezekiel Cobb 2024!
Really enjoyed this movie! Thank you 😊
Delightful!
Yes!
OMG! They speak! 😱
great film!
Love this movie!! ❤😅
I am familiar with Harold Lloyds silent pictures. Its an enjoyable movie with some laugh out loud lines. I think I'll buy the DVD before someone objects and the movie is removed! It was a different time.
He would make a marvelous Mayor,lol,this story is funny!!!!
Balanced frame composition And in black n white! Near flawless, even were you to pause and paint one single frame, your choice of frame. They had a knack to study.
As I endeavor to paint canvas' w Balance, the great film production pioneers impress and inspire me.
thank you.
"He could commit murder on the city hall steps and still be reelected." Sounds familiar.
no, sounds like a description of trump
@@judechandler5102
No again !
IT ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE A DESCRIPTION OF BOTH TRUMP AND CLINTON !!!😈😈😈😈
THATS A NON AMERICAN VIEW FROM SCOTLAND !!
YOU SEE BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE CONTROLLED BY THE AMERICAN ILLUMINATI CABAL !! THATS WHY BOTH POLITICAL USA PARTIES ARE ALWAYS EMBROLIED IN CONSTANT WARS !!! so it really makes no difference whether Clinton or trump got elected!!!
@@josephfinnegan9389 June 2020. Changed your mind?.
@@josephfinnegan9389 uhm, only ONE of those two people you mentioned ACTUALLY SAID almost the EXACT same thing. You only need to change "city hall steps" to "the middle of Fifth Ave."
Joseph Finnegan, how sophisticated many movies were before the second big war, WWII. Suggests something about the audiences too.
Now we have people so blinded by some sort of derangement syndrome that they do not perceive the blatant attempts at worldwide power grabs and have supported destroying the world in hopes of ousting one guy. Just recently the WHO special envoy remarked that measures taken are doubling world poverty and with it child hunger. Such consequences do not concern the wannabe dictators, narcissistic personalities with an insatiable desire for control, or the minions of money power.
Very enjoyable thanks for posting.
How about George Barbier in this movie? He really makes it
Just darling!😍
WHOOPS WARD ROBE MALFUNCTION AT 38 MINUTES IN ~~YEP A PRE- CODE MOVIE !!! LOVE HIS SILENT MOVIES THE BEST
Thank you.
Harold Lloyd was handsome
In the comical sense.😂
He was very handsome ❤
Ah ! This exposes American politics. The problem is the number of this type of "Hero Missionary" is getting less & less in America, on the contrary corrupted high official as "Commissioner- Moriarty" is on the rise. Most of the public representatives are just pet doggies of the super-rich business magnets.
The common people are just fooled to understand that America is a heaven, it is a matter of great shame that the common people of America have forgot John Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln and other such great people who once lead America.
This type of movies are just jewels, they are just like good books which injects knowledge of right and wrong.
"public representatives are just pet doggies of the super-rich business magnets." Politicians are from the oligarchic class themselves. You mispelled magnate.
Lloyd's greatest films were silents. Lloyd and Buster Keaton were daredevils and hilarious.
I guess getting confessions while under duress didn't apply in those days. Good movie anyway.
Are you there Diane?
What a great movie. I love Una Merkel as well.
A real sweetie
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
Harold channeling the Donald at 9:16
1:35:47 I laughed out loud when the big Chinese guy came out clean off that blade. The faces on those guys was hilarious. 1:35:51 he was a great character and has been in many many movies ( Nat Pendleton) . The black actor has been in many movies, what a great face he had. I don't belong to this gang" It was a great touch when the German started to confess but the Mayor - look on his face is priceless - didn't know what he said but the big Chinese man spoke German. 1:37:59 That whole scene was genius.
And we are supposed to roll back and watch all the time stamps YOU find funny ?
I was pleased to see that they used actual Asian actors
Every circus needs its clown.
So much for the separation of church and state
Funny movie!
A beautyfull teach
Just a great movie!

I am convinced that this film was partially an apology for some of the stereotypical, oriental gags in "Welcome Danger".
This a perfect perfect movies
What a wonderful comedy.
Oh my gosh, it starts with Biden vs that other guy, then the chosen weak candidate dies. Wondering about someone’s health?
Easily identify with Mr. Cobb, have been lost among politicians too.
Also ancestors were missionaries in Asia, family has ability with languages, including Asian.
Asian?
Calvin Girvin, yes, you do know they have several languages in Asia, they are often referred to as Asian languages, Chinese being one.
Fun and politically relevant for today
Does anyone know: At 47:33 Lloyd says, "She was right; a cat's paw." ... I don't recall anyone saying "Cat's paw" in the movie before this. Anyone know? (Great little movie!)
Other than the title. I did look up the word "cats paw". It's a slang term meaning a person that takes the fall for someone else. Harold's character was the cat's paw when he got thrown in to run against the crooked mayor.
At around 30:50, Ms. Pet says to him, "I suppose somebody had to be the cat's paw."
Believe it or not, I started watching Harold’s films back in December 2020.
A person who is used by another to achieve some end.
I've never seen this one before. There's some sharp social and political satire. I can pass on this one, though. It's at least half an hour too long, as well.
Simply wonderful movie save for Lloyd’s goofy sounding voice! Lol!
pre code and pre miranda vs arizona movie.
Movie that is funny, is pleasure to watch. Ling Po
Really enjoyed the story...it was a great piece of theatre...but the language referring to Black and Chinese ethnicity was a blaring jolt...and the raw face of uneducated societies across the World....America wasn't the first to require slaves for their profit...the Arabs have been trading humans since the times of Aladin!😝
Before Arabs, Romans and others were trading humans as well. But, those who made Black slavery big business of massive exploitation were Western Europeans: Portuguese, English, Spanish, and Dutch.

When they round up the criminals ... at 1:20:05, what's the deal with busting in on the 'village people" at the 'men's athletic club'? How crazy that immorality was treated by the police as a crime. Today, that sort of behavior is awarded with gov jobs and presidential bids.

HELLO
Meh, it's OK. That from A Harold Lloyd fan. The storyline is very thin and predictable. Not his best sound picture. In terms of dealing with corrupt politics, it's not exactly Citizen Kane.
All is just my humble opinion ... Guess what : it's not supposed to be 'Citizen Kane' ... This is Harold Lloyd .🙄.. NOT Orson Welles .🤨.. although , if he had ditched those glasses , he would have been a huge success in dramatic roles as well .💓.. A Beautiful Soul 💎💢💎 and a Beautiful Man🕴️😍 ...looks that rival Cary Grant...👍👍
If those signs said instead “BIDEN FROM CHINA!” It would have been prophetic!
Boo!
