The Kid Brother is a 1927 American silent comedy film starring Harold Lloyd. It was successful and popular upon release[1][2] and today is considered by critics and fans to be one of Lloyd's best films, integrating elements of comedy, romance, drama, and character development. Its storyline is an homage to a 1921 film called Tol'able David, although it is essentially a re-make of a little-known 1924 Hal Roach feature, The White Sheep, starring Glenn Tryon.

The film entered the public domain in 2023.
