Harold Lloyd: The Kid Brother
(Ted Wilde, Lewis Milestone, Harold Lloyd, USA 1927, 100 min)
Ralph Turnheim is probably the only professional silent-film narrator in the German-speaking world. He performs live film narration—lyrical and distinctly Viennese in style. Together with silent-film pianist Gerhard Gruber, he provides a live accompaniment to Harold Lloyd’s The Kid Brother.
In the 1920s, Harold Lloyd was more successful than Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. The Kid Brother is his greatest film. Harold is the weakest link in the proud Hickory family of Hickoryville. His father, an upright sheriff, keeps his sons and the town firmly under control. But then a small group of traveling entertainers stops in Hickoryville—and everything is thrown into disarray: Marie, the attraction of the medicine show, has eyes only for Harold; his father faces the gallows after a theft; and the fate of the entire town suddenly rests in the hands of the “little sheriff,” Harold Hickory.
The Kid Brother was Harold Lloyd’s favorite film—and it is also the favorite Lloyd film of cinema narrator Turnheim. The “screen poet” “dubs” all the characters with rhymes, creates the sound effects, and adds even more wit, drama, and vitality to Hickoryville.
