The picture quality is spectacular (Harold Lloyd owned his films, and many of them are in pristine condition), the commentary and other DVD features are interesting, and the films themselves are superb. I've always heard of Harold Lloyd, but have never seen the movies. My brother gave the new DVD set to our elderly mother (who saw the originals when they came out) and we have now had many entertaining hours with these wonderful films. Mr. Lloyd's setups and timing are impeccable. The clarity and cleanliness of this restored material is such that you think you are in a time warp back to the 20's. Safety Last! and several of the others are simply works of art. Plus quite funny...these films are happy pills, and you will marvel at the inventiveness. Highly recommended.
