This was one of Harold Lloyd's most successful films at the box office and the 12th highest-grossing film of the Silent Era.

This was a difficult production for Lloyd. Several scenes were filmed but later cut from the released version. Some of the cut scenes were later used in Lloyd's Speedy (1928).
First of Harold Lloyd's films to be distributed by Paramount Pictures.
This film was the first shown in the Museum of Modern Art's festival tribute to film comedy in 1976.
