The Sin of Harold Diddlebock

Inspired me to become an alcoholic again.

Strained humor. You'll find little of the comic genius of either Lloyd or Sturges here.

T.S.O.H.D is a loose sequel to The Freshman, Lloyd's biggest hit. In its own curious way, it functions as a reflection on Lloyd's own career, from early triumph to premature failure. It begins with footage from the finale of The Freshman, which was probably a bad move because its manic comic energy merely highlights the flatness of Sturge's direction and the paucity of laughs thereafter. Its final act of desperation--i.e another variation on Lloyd hanging from a tall building--seals its fate
