The Man In The Glasses: The Harold Lloyd Podcast

Director Rich Correll and cinematographer Dave Nowell take us back to the 1960s and Greenacres for more incredible stories about life at Harold Lloyd's house. 
Now that the boys have not only gotten permission but been hired by Harold to take care of his film library, they begin the process of handling, organizing and sometimes rediscovering Lloyd's own negatives and prints. 
They get to know the Simonton family, especially Richard, who begins making preservation copies of the films. And we talk about home life with Mildred, Harold Jr. and the jovial Roy Brooks. 
They also discuss the change in the glasses character after the transition from silents to sound. What it was like traveling with Harold to screen the classics to a new generation, and seeing the reaction of teenage audiences from the 60's to today.
Plus: Rich names the podcast, Steve Urkel channels the silent comedians, and Dave and Tony Scott film one of the most memorable scenes in movie history.

We begin our celebration of the 100th anniversary of Harold Lloyd's "The Freshman" with a fascinating conversation with Harold's granddaughter Suzanne Lloyd!
We're talking all about the origins, release and reception of the world's first football comedy and #8 on ESPN's list of Greatest Sports Movies Ever Made. It's the film no one wanted Harold to make, but it became a phenomenon that launched two genres: the "college film" and the modern sports movie.
Suzanne has amazing personal stories growing up with Harold & Mildred, behind-the-scenes details of the making of "The Freshman" and its unofficial sequel "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock," and her lifelong role preserving and championing "Dad's" works of art.
Plus: Howard Hughes, Frances Marion, and traveling with King Vidor and Colleen Moore!
