SAFETY LAST!
Special Features: 100th Anniversary. Live musical accompaniment by Donald Sosin and Joanna Seaton
New to the city, country boy Harold Lloyd hopes to work his way up the ladder at the De Vore Department Store. But having led his hometown sweetheart to believe that he's already been promoted to a top spot in management, Lloyd must work overtime to make himself look like a big shot. Lloyd steadily piles on sight gags and stunts, culminating in his hair-raising ascent of the building's facade — the image of Lloyd hanging from the hands of the building's clock has become a comedic landmark and modernist icon. "To see it today with an audience alternately roaring with laughter and gasping is one of the greatest experiences of cinema." – David Shipman. DIR Fred C. Newmeyer; DIR/SCR Sam Taylor; SCR Tim Whelan; SCR/PROD Hal Roach. U.S., 1923, b&w, 70 min. NOT RATED
