Negative Positive
Title: At Long Last!
Review: One would expect to pay at least twice as much for such a handsome book, a real tribute to its subject. Oversized and lavishly illustrated with what seems like a thousand stunning photographs of Lloyd in his starring roles as well as behind the scenes. It's a shame that some of the quintessential, classic visual comedic moments of Lloyd's career are not represented here, such as losing his trousers at the formal dance in "The Freshman," especially when the author takes the trouble to repeat the oft-told tale of Lloyd reassembling the cast and set to add this gag after preview audiences were disappointed that the Freshman's unravelling suit stopped short of his pants. Fans of Lloyd, the silent era, comedy, Hollywood and cinema history will be thrilled to own this book -- which hopefully heralds the release of Lloyd's work restored on DVD.
