Safety Last (1923)


SAFETY LAST  (1923)

Harold Lloyd's affable go-getter moves to the city to make good, but the best he can do is a $15-a-week job as a clerk in a department store. This is the movie where Lloyd scales the wall of the department store building and ends up high above the street, dangling from the hands of a clock. It's a hair-raising stunt, and Harold himself was the stuntman. No other silent star ever did anything quite like it.
