This two-disc DVD collection is mastered from 35mm restoration prints overseen by The Harold Lloyd Trust, which should represent the best-surviving prints of these seven Harold Lloyd shorts and feature films. Speedy and Haunted Spooks are presented with audio commentary by Annette D’Agostino Lloyd and Rich Correll.

For our comparative reviews of the individual films in this collection, see our Among Those Present on home video, For Heaven’s Sake on home video, Get Out and Get Under on home video, Haunted Spooks on home video, Hot Water on home video, I Do on home video, Never Weaken on home video, Number, Please? on home video, A Sailor-Made Man on home video and Speedy on home video pages.

While long out-of-print, this collection still represents the best-available home video editions of some these wonderful films and recommend it highly, if you can find a copy.
