    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Many of the exterior shots were filmed at Holmby House, the massive estate owned by Arthur Letts, owner of Bullock's Department Stores. Harold Lloyd did not move into his Green Acres estate in Beverly Hills until 1929, five years after this movie was released.
    • Goofs
      When Mary's car goes off the road and in a close shot she takes out the Cracker Jack box, there is a reflection in the side of the car (bottom left) of a pair of legs standing nearby, then walking away.

      Big Publishing Office Girl: I just love cave men!

    • Alternate versions
      In addition to the 'My Vampire' and 'My Flapper' sequences, there was a third interlude involving the girl with the curls, where Harold finds her as a Mary Pickford-type milk maid. The scene does not survive (it was cut after a preview) but a photograph of the scene has appeared in several publications.

    9/10
    The definitive Harold Lloyd film.
    Slapstick takes a back seat to wit and charm - especially wit. This is the Harold Lloyd film that contains the often-quoted scene where Harold imagines he is a latter day Shakespeare. One episode is so good it was copied decades later in THE GRADUATE. I won't say what it is immediately recognizable.

    The only disappointment is that one of the original day-dream sequences was cut following adverse comments at the preview. Apparently the audience wasn't into wit, and got bored waiting for more slapstick. (Nothing changes.)
