Movie Crazy is a 1932 American Pre-Code comedy film starring Harold Lloyd in his third sound feature.

Later, he is knocked out and ends up inside a trunk on the set of a film where Mary and her abusive would-be boyfriend are performing a scene.

The director loses consciousness, and an unscripted real-world fight takes place between Harold and the boyfriend, activating the effects that were planned for the film.

He recognizes Harold as a comic genius and offers him a contract, even knowing that the fight was not acting.

However, Bruckman soon fell ill to a lingering problem with alcoholism, which led to Lloyd stepping into direct, although he did not take credit for it.
