 In 1919 Harold Lloyd (qv) was handed what he thought was a prop  bomb, which he lit with his cigarette. It turned out to be real and  exploded, blowing off Lloyds right thumb and index finger, and  putting him in the hospital for months. When he recovered, he went  back to making movies, wearing a white glove while on screen to hide  his damaged right hand. He did his stunts in this film and  _Feet First (1930)_ (qv), dangling from ledges, clocks and windows,  using only eight fingers.
