Safety Last!, (Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor, 1923)
After Bleeder and Re-Wind maybe it made sense that I needed a Harold Lloyd recalibration, although I had already been working through a series of his films on the Criterion Channel already. Last night I watched Lloyd's classic Safety Last!, which also starred Mildred Davis (as The Girl), Bill Strother (as The Pal, Limpy Bill), and Noah Young (as The Law). Mildred Davis often co-starred with Lloyd, and eventually the two of them married. Safety Last! features some classic Harold Lloyd bits, including that classic scene of him hanging from a clock that is the natural result of any image search. Recommended.
