Personal Quote:
[In comedy] one situation leads to another - one 'gag' builds up its successor.We seek always to build up every situation to the 'topping-off' point. The top-off gag of any situation must always must have a greater force than any other in the sequence.

Trivia:
Aside from two talking films,
The Milky Way &
The Sin of Harold Diddlebock (AKA "The Sin of Harold Diddlebock"), all films from 1922 through
Grandma's Boy, were owned by Lloyd. Many of the pre-1920 shorts were lost in a nitrate explosion in his film vault in 1943 and are now considered lost. A limited number of films rights were sold to Time-Life in 1998...
