  • ""The comic genius of silent star Harold Lloyd is eternal. Chaplin is the sweet innocent, Keaton the stoic outsider, but Lloyd-the modern guy striving for success-is us. And with its torrent of perfectly executed gags and astonishing stunts, Safety Last! is the perfect introduction to him. Lloyd plays a small-town bumpkin trying to make it in the big city, who finds employment as a lowly department-store clerk. He comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store, resulting in an incredible feat of derring-do on his part that gets him started on the climb to success. Laugh-out-loud funny and jaw-dropping in equal measure, Safety Last! is a movie experience par excellence, anchored by a genuine legend"--Container."

  • "Harold vient à Los Angeles pour faire fortune, il survit grâce à de petits boulots. Il a menti à sa fiancée sur sa situation financière réelle, et, lorsque celle-ci vient le rejoindre en ville, il est dans l'impossibilité de la recevoir dignement. Contre quelque 500 dollars, un escroc le persuade d'escalader le premier étage d'un immeuble, devant les badauds rassemblés dans la rue, en s'aidant uniquement des aspérités du décor. L'escroc en a promis plus à son public qui a payé pour assister à l'exploit - ou à la chute ! - et il oblige Harold à chaque fois de monter plus haut. Au dernier étage, arrivé sur la corniche, Harold est assommé par une girouette et tombe, se raccrochant aux aiguilles de l'horloge. Mais il s'en sortira et fera honneur à sa fiancée."

  • "In the comedy Safety last, Harold Lloyd goes to the 'big city' to make his fortune; includes the famous and precarious sequence of Lloyd, who did his own stunts, hanging from the hands of a clock on a tall building.

  • "Probably Lloyd's most famous feature and one of the most popular of 'thrill comedies' involving escapades at great heights. Here he plays a young man who travels to the big city to make good, pretends to have triumphant successes and is forced to desperate deeds when his financee decides to visit him. His misadventurous 'human fly' act on the side of the department store was filmed using a minimum of safety devices. An abbreviated version of Hot Water (1924) is also included."@en
