THE KID BROTHER, 1927, 82 mins, Cert U, directed by Ted Wilde and J.A. Howe . Accompanied on piano by Andrew Youdell, a regular player at the National Film Theatre, this is another of Lloyd’s comedy masterpieces - said to be his favourite. He’s the weakling of three brothers, so he has something to prove, if he’s to get the girl.

A string of pratfalls, chases and derring-do, while the climax aboard an abandoned ship is a tour de force - Time Out
