In his time, Harry Langdon was far from underrated. In fact he was considered one of the 4 great comedians of his time, a small pantheon than included Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd. However, since his heyday Langdon's star has waned. Perhaps its because his work was more subtle than his peers, or perhaps it was films were not exhibited as often. Whatever the reason, he remains vastly underrated today, though his best work is still quite funny.
