Review of Safety Last! (1923) by Mitchell W — 13 Apr 2008
Lloyd was part of that holy trinity of silent comics, and he was an expert at blending suspense and comedy. This is easily his best-known work, and it's absolutely brilliant. Almost perfect in execution, its climax is one of the best setpieces ever to grace a Hollywood picture.
(The image of Lloyd hanging off that clock is iconic.).
