Tras la espléndida colección Chaplin y las ediciones de toda la obra silente de Buster Keaton, le toca ahora el turno al tercer gran cómico del cine mudo: Harold Lloyd.
Las especificaciones técnicas que ha facilitado la compañía New Line a DVDTimes permiten albergar muy fundadas esperanzas de encontrarnos ante un lanzamiento imprescindible, y además parece ser que incluyen subtítulos en español.
