The Kid Brother still

The Kid Brother is a 1927 American silent comedy film starring Harold Lloyd. It was successful and popular upon release and today is considered by critics and fans to be one of Lloyd's best films, integrating elements of comedy, romance, drama, and character development. Its storyline is an homage to a 1921 film called Tol'able David, although it is essentially a re-make of the 1924 Hal Roach feature, The White Sheep, starring Glenn Tryon. The film entered the public domain in 2023.
