Safety Last! (1923)
What a Boy WON'T do to cover up a few inaccuracies to the girl he wholeheartedly loves. lol
I have only ever seen one, Harold Lloyd, due to an HoF, and I was appreciative but lackluster.
I was raised on Sir Charles Chaplin and have endeared myself completely. I only recently watched and was quite impressed by Buster Keaton - also HoF setting my course to explore more of him.
And now, watching Lloyd's most iconic short due to hanging off a clock outside a building, I did enjoy myself watching
The Boy maneuver to uphold a successful business career that he does not have. Some of them in an amusing way. Like when the call buttons send everyone to his office, he quickly steps in line with them, pretending he has no idea why they've all been called. Or the above hiding in hanging coats to avoid the landlady did put a grin on my face.
Not sure if it's my old age or fear of heights that caused my concern during the climb up the building and thinking, "F@ck that, I'd confess before climbing up that." Still, it made for an engaging climax to the film and an enjoyable watch.
