Anecdotes
Both Harold Lloyd and Hal Roach would haul the initial cuts of their films to theaters on the outskirts of Los Angeles for unannounced test screenings. They would gauge the reactions of these audiences to individual scenes and recut the films accordingly. This film was unusual in that it was conceived as a 2-reel short, but the 4-reel (just over 40 minutes) first cut tested so strongly with the audience, they were loathe to cut any of it. By audience default, it accidentally became his first feature-length comedy.

Gaffes
When the Maharajah locks The Girl in a room, the door handle is on the left side. The camera then cuts to a shot of The Girl inside the room on the other side of the door, and that handle is also on the left side. The handle can't be on the left side of both sides of a door.

First Harold Lloyd Feature Film

Comedian Harold Lloyd was preparing for just another short film when the plot he and his team of writers came up with was sizzling with a wealth of gags. They were in a quandary whether to shelve some brilliant sequences to be within the restraints of their normal short 30-minute film or expand to a longer version. Producer Hal Roach recommended the later. Lloyd went along with his producer's opinion, and made his first feature film, December 1921's "A Sailor-Made Man." It was a decision that forever changed his movie career.

Clocking in at just 46 minutes, Lloyd's feature was a big money-maker at the theaters, cashing in almost half a million dollars on a $77,000 budget. The movie's plot of a rich playboy who is required to get a job before he marries his popular girlfriend could have easily fit into his previously two-reeler structure. But since his character's enrollment into the Navy required an exotic location, Lloyd expanded upon thrills and laughs to a longer motion picture.
