. . . so it is pretty odd that this supposedly authoritative (as in the proverbial "last word") web site is combining Episode One and Episode Two into one solid block just because the Yankee "American Masters" program imported it years after its original run and reedited it into a shorter, one-piece show. It is as if this site had some underling from Thermia, who listed the official date for a movie called GONE WITH THE WIND as 1957, just because the Thermites were 18 years behind the times (due to the profligate spending of Thermian strongman Thierry Theman). Thus, we have a 1992 date for HAROLD LLOYD: THE THIRD GENIUS, and no ability to give the 56:07.17-long second episode the separate rating (distinct from Episode One) which it deserves by virtue of its format in its country of origin. That being said, this part of the Lloyd story documents how one of the few Lloyd groupies gained access to his film vault by romancing his daughter (they've since divorced), which hopefully was more comfortable than the sound of that flick from the 1900s, ROMANCING THE STONE.
