The HAROLD LLOYD OF HIS AGE wears a reviewers' drubbing on his sleeve:
"I have received bad reviews my whole life. I received bad reviews for my stand-up act. The Jerk, one of my most ENDURING films, was universally panned and criticized in America. Comedians always have to overcome critical snobbery, that's just the way it is... Comedy is just not a critic's medium." [Overemphasis added] And Harold Jr. does Sr. one better: He wrote "books"! By the way Harry -- was the pun intended?
