Rating: 5.0
Two of My Favorite Movies
This movie is two of my favorites: The Sin of Harold Diddlebock (1947) 89 minutes and Mad Wednesday (1950)76 minutes.The movie was re-released under a new title after Rudy Vallee's scenes were cut.It's the story of Harold Diddlebock, Lloyd's character from 1923's The Freshman, twenty years after he was given a job by a grateful sports fan upon graduating from college.The job was a dead-end clerical job, brightened only by a succession of sisters, each of whom he falls in unrequited love with, each of whom left the company to marry someone else.Shortly after the youngest sister comes to work at the company, Harold gets cashiered on a Tuesday, handed his pension, and sent home.At least that's the last thing he remembers when he wakes up Thursday. The rest of the movie is a hilarious romp as he recalls what happened on Wednesday and deals with the consequences.Trust me, you are going to wish you could go to a Halloween Party dressed as Harold Diddlebock.
