# He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms.
Harold Lloyd was great, and this stunt is all the more remarkable for the fact he's missing a sizeable chunk of his right hand.

# it's also a fantastic example of great location, careful camera work and excellent cuts
he's only a few feet above lots of mattresses, yet almost everyone believes he did the stunt with nothing below him and the street

# Harold Lloyd on tv
Do you remember the version with the added voice over, with a high yackety-yacket-jack American accented man speaking over the pratfalls? That was the one I saw first, and I think I preferred it.

# Yep!
Childhood memories :) Those shows introduced me to the man. I ended up preferring the full movies when there was a Harold Lloyd season on BBC2 one Christmas, but I still like the music of the old yackety yak show :)
