Kalissa H @kali_416 1d The scenes on the girders are nerve wrecking See more Nick M Jan 10 Lloyd's character's fiancée is about to be laid off because her osteopath boss isn't bringing in any clients. He sets to work immediately rounding up clients by staging injurious falls with his new acrobatic friend. He manages to find himself trapped on one of the upper floors of a skyscraper under construction and has a harrowing misadventure getting safely back to Earth. It's a simple, familiar premise (skyscraper notwithstanding), but this short is packed with so much originality that I was glued to it from start to finish. It isn't the funniest Lloyd comedy I've seen, but the stunts more than make up for the scattered laughs. It's even more impressive when considering that all of these stunts were performed outside of the security of a studio. Truly mindboggling! See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 08/25/2021 It was interesting to see Lloyd and his team working out many of the stunts he would later use in his classic full-length feature Safety Last, but this film is short on laughs. See more 06/03/2016 A sort of precursor to the "thriller" brand of comedy perfected in "Safety Last!," this Harold Lloyd short is as massively entertaining as anything I've seen by him. This also features by far the funniest suicide attempt scene I've ever seen!
