A 1950 Re-Release (re-titled "Mad Wednesday" for this re-release) Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More)

The Sin of Harold Diddlebock (also released as "Mad Wednesday"), the 1947 Preston Sturges romantic football fantasy comedy (produced by Howard Hughes; "Yes sir! Wednesday was WILD! Wednesday was RUGGED!"; "Funniest picture that has been made... In this year or any other!"; "Written and directed by The One And Only Preston Sturges who gave you 'The Miracle of Morgan's Creek', 'The Great McGinty' and other smash hits!"; "The wildest, wackiest most hilarious and completely bollixed-up day you ever heard of!"; Lloyd plays the exact same character he played in "The Freshman", except he is 20 years older, and he dreams of romance, and then, after he drinks a "Diddlebock" at the local bar, he goes on a very strange rampage) starring Harold Lloyd (in the title role as Harold Diddlebock), Jimmy Conlin, Raymond Walburn, Arline Judge, Franklin Pangborn, Lionel Stander, Rudy Vallee, Margaret Hamilton, Edgar Kennedy, and Frances Ramsden (billed as "introducing Frances Ramsden"). Note that this film has a strange history! It was first released in 1947 as The Sin of Harold Diddlebock but reviews were mixed and it had a limited release. The film was pulled from theaters and the title was changed to Mad Wednesday (possibly as a result of a contest created by Howard Hughes for his employees) because of concerns that the word "sin" in the title would hurt the box office. Advertising material was created for the planned 1947 run of Mad Wednesday and new footage was shot to be used to re-edit the film (supposedly, all of Rudy Vallee's scenes were cut because Howard Hughes disliked Vallee!). However, likely because Hughes took so long on the re-editing process, it would not be until 1950 that the movie was theatrically released as Mad Wednesday.
