Trivia:
It was revealed for the first time by film historian Jeffrey Vance (in the June 2006 Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Silent Film Gala program book for SAFETY LAST!) that Robert A. Golden routinely doubled for Harold Lloyd between 1921-1927. Previously, Golden was merely credited as Lloyd's assistant director and not Lloyd's double. According to Vance, Golden doubled Lloyd in the bit with Harold shimmy shaking off the building's ledge after a mouse crawls up his trousers.

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When "the boy" receives his paycheck from the store employee, he opens it to see his pay stub, and on it is the name "Harold Lloyd" which is the name of the actor, but is not supposed to be the name of the character. The character, as in most of his films, is only supposed to be known as "the boy". It is the only incident in Harold Lloyd's entire film career in which he plays a character using his true name. The scene was edited in without Lloyds knowledge, and didn't become aware of it until the movie was complete.

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.
