Review of Safety Last! (1923) by Kevin S — 09 Jul 2011
Fantastic silent film that was engrossing from the first minute. The humour and timing of Lloyd is great, and the build up to, and execution of, the films climax is brilliant.
For it's time, there's so much which clearly inspired other moves from generations afterwards. Definitely felt a times as though the creators of Looney Tunes had seen a Lloyd film or 2, seeing the sequences for the first time.
A great introduction to Lloyd's work, which left me eager for more immediately afterwards. Great introduction to silent comedy, and to the comic genius of Harold Lloyd. Highly recommended for a great easy to watch, and very funny, comedy.
