A Sailor-Made Man

A Sailor-Made Man is a 1921 American silent comedy film directed by Fred Newmeyer and starring Harold Lloyd.

The Girl and her friends stop off at the port of Agar Shahar Khairpura, the "City of a Thousand Rascals," in the country of Khairpura-Bhandanna, to sightsee, just as the Boy and O'Rafferty get shore leave there.

Considered to be Lloyd's first feature-length film, the extended running time of A Sailor-Made Man came about purely by accident.

During production, with an excessive number of gags written into the story, it became apparent that the film would be longer than the traditional two-reel short.

However, the audiences enjoyed the extended cut so much, Lloyd decided not to change a thing and kept it as a four-reel comedy.
