This two-disc 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.
We fully expect that this collection will be the best-available editions of these wonderful films, and recommend it sight unseen.
