Review of Safety Last! (1923) by Matthew L — 14 Apr 2008

Easily one of the top 5 best films ever made and one that can still give current mainstream cinema a run for its money. Simply put, actor/director/writer/producer Harold Lloyd is a God! Not to be cast off as just a "silent Film," as even by today's standards, with 95% of the stunts being lethal is they went wrong, this film is quintessentially breathtaking in it's scope and charm.

So much so, that when the film makes it's annual screening at the STANFORD THEATER, it is always a sold out show to hundreds of viewers: some old and others that are about 5 years old. No matter the age, anyone will be held steadfast by the over the top, but always astonishing, white knuckled action scenes.

DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!!!!
