Safety Last! (1923)
Manage episode 286702799 series 2643154
One of the most well-known (dare we say famous!) silent films of all time due to a man dangling from the arm of a clock, Safety Last! anchored Harold Lloyd among the comedic greats of the moving pictures era.
Lloyd plays a small-town "Boy" trying to make it in the big city, who finds employment as a department-store clerk. He comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store after his roommate's successful climb of escape from a cop, resulting in the incredible feat of a death-defying stunt!
Laugh-out-loud funny and jaw-dropping in equal measure, Safety Last! is a movie experience you won't soon forget.
Lily's film watch: Greta (2019), Dir. Sparkman Clark. Found on Amazon Prime.
Adam's film watch: Greed (1924), Dir. Erich von Stroheim, and Die Nibelungen (1924), Dir. Fritz Lang. A silent fantasy film!
