Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMany 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.
- GoofsWhen 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.
- Quotes
Big Publishing Office Girl: I just love cave men!
- Alternate versionsIn 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.

Terrific Movie Experience
I initially went to the Film Forum's presentation to experience what going to the movies might have been like 80 years ago. To have an experience like my grandmother had (she used to rave about Harold Loyd). I thought the film was going to be OK. I was astonished at the wit of the film, its emotional content and the joy it brought to the audience. The gags were plentiful and quite clever, the action kept everything moving and the audience enjoyed themselves immensely (obviously a self selected group). The entire experience was enhanced by a live piano player and I think by the communal experience of seeing this film at the movies.
I highly recommend the film.
