In 1962, the scenes of Lloyd rescuing the dog, riding on the train with Ralston and breaking up the wedding were included in a compilation film produced by Harold Lloyd himself entitled Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy. The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and created a renewal of interest in the comedian by introducing him to a whole new generation.

Famous quotes containing the words renewed, interest and/or lloyd:

    So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day.
    Bible: New Testament, 2 Corinthians 4:16.

    Women hock their jewels and their husbands’ insurance policies to acquire an unaccustomed shade in hair or crêpe de chine. Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise? One is led to suspect that the interest people show in these much talked of commodities, painting, music, and writing, cannot be very deep or very genuine when they so wince under an unexpected impact.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Four spectres haunt the Poor—Old Age, Accident, Sickness and Unemployment. We are going to exorcise them. We are going to drive hunger from the hearth. We mean to banish the workhouse from the horizon of every workman in the land.
    —David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
