Why Worry? is a 1923 American silent comedy film directed by Fred C. Newmeyer and Sam Taylor and starring Harold Lloyd.

Production

This was the last film made in Lloyd's partnership with Hal Roach. The village set for the film was used in Roach's Our Gang short Dogs of War, filmed at the same time and featuring guest appearances by Lloyd and Jobyna Ralston. Lloyd and Roach parted on good terms, as each simply wanted to go in different directions and Harold Lloyd now had enough money to finance his films independently.

In the film's original script, the main character was to go to Mexico instead of the fictitious island of Paradiso. Lloyd made the change in response to concerns that using Mexico as the setting perpetuated unfair stereotyping.

George Auger, also known by his stage name "Cardiff Giant", was a Ringling Brothers circus giant who was originally cast to play Colosso. Auger died the day before he was scheduled to travel to California to begin filming Why Worry? After a nationwide publicity campaign to find his replacement, Norwegian John Aasen from Minnesota was chosen for the role.

The film was distributed by Pathe Exchange with sales assistance from the distribution company Associated Exhibitors.
