A Few Minutes Out West With Mr. Lloyd
16 August 2003
A Hal Roach HAROLD LLOYD Short Subject.

Harold becomes AN EASTERN WESTERNER when his wealthy father banishes him from Broadway to Piute Patch.

Harold displays his remarkable athletic ability in this funny little film made shortly after he lost half of his right hand in a freak accident. Although his special glove (made by Sam Goldwyn's family) is visible at times, you would never know he was handicapped in any way. Whether trying to sneak into a New York nightclub, or escape from the dangerous Masked Angels out West, Harold is never less than hilarious.

Mildred Davis, Harold's future wife, plays the sweet Girl of the West; Noah Young is the nasty outlaw.

Robert Israel has composed an excellent film score which perfectly complements Harold's antics on the screen.
