Did You Know?
Trivia | Both Harold Lloyd and Hal Roach would haul the initial cuts of their films to theaters on the outskirts of Los Angeles for unannounced test screenings. They would gauge the reactions of these audiences to individual scenes and re-cut the films accordingly. This film was unusual in that it was conceived as a 2-reel short, but the 4-reel (just over 40 minutes) first cut tested so strongly with the test audience, they were loathe to cut any of it. By audience default, it accidentally became his first feature-length comedy. See more » |
Goofs | When the Maharajah locks The Girl in a room, the door handle is on the left side. The camera then cuts to a shot of The Girl inside the room on the other side of the door, and that handle is also on the left side. The handle can't be on the left side of both sides of a door. See more » |
