Comment/Synopsis
A mild mannered clerk is sack after 20 years and after tasting a special drink goes on a few wild adventures. THis was Harold Lloyd's final film after a 10 year gap. Despite being written and directed by Preston Sturges this is a disappointing film. The comedy is uneven and below the standard of earlier Harold Lloyd films. The best being the scene with the lion on the ledge of a building. The first section of the film is footage from the 1925 Harold Lloyd film The Freshman.
