Synopsis
The Kid Brother (1927) is a silent comedy from Harold Lloyd you can watch online on iFILM. Lloyd plays the meek youngest son of a small-town sheriff, mocked by his burly older brothers and treated like a kid.
When the dam money the whole town entrusted to his father vanishes from the safe, the sheriff takes the blame. Harold is the only one who believes in him, so the timid boy sets off to catch the thieves himself. He stumbles into love, into a beating or two, and into a celebrated brawl aboard a wrecked ship run aground on the shore. Jobyna Ralston is the girl who makes it all worth it.
Many rank this among Lloyd's finest — the bespectacled everyman who performed his own stunts without the safety rigs any studio would demand today. Quiet countryside, a chase, a clumsy hero who turns out braver than anyone. Proof that silent comedy still lands a laugh without a single line. Stream The Kid Brother (1927) online on iFILM.
