This dual-format Blu-ray Disc / DVD edition has been mastered from what appears to be two film sources that range from very-good to excellent.

The film is presented with a music score composed and performed on piano by Gabriel Thibaudeau.

This BD/DVD home video edition is the best-available home video of this early Harold Lloyd film, and we recommend it highly.
