    To finish off the New Year, we're diving deep into the making of "The Freshman" with Harold Lloyd biographer Annette D'Agostino Lloyd!  At a loss when his usual production method isn't working, Lloyd decides to get outside his comfort zone and try something new - yet old - and go back to the beginning, which turns out to be a very good place to start.  For Part One, we go from idea to execution with the Harold Lloyd Studio dream team of directors Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor, writer (soon director) Ted Wilde and cinematographer Walter Lundin. How Harold the producer molded Harold the character, and how Lamb embodies Lloyd.  Plus: Grady Sutton, Wally Howe, and Pal The Wonder Dog!
