Harold Lloyd: Documentary
Lloyd was the subject of a television documentary series,
Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill, which followed similar documentaries about the other two geniuses of the silent movies,
Charlie Chaplin and
Buster Keaton.
The documentary revealed that many of Lloyd's high-altitude stunts were performed on dummy buildings above the entrance to a road tunnel. Lloyd was usually about 20 feet above the ground, but the camera was positioned so that the top of the tunnel was out of shot, and in perspective Lloyd appeared to be hanging above the lower road about a hundred feet below.
