Description

One of the most iconic silent films of all time, *Safety Last!* (1923) is a thrilling comedy directed by Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor, starring Harold Lloyd. The film follows the adventures of Harold (Lloyd), a small-town boy who moves to the big city in hopes of making his fortune. Finding work as a lowly department store clerk, he pretends to be the store manager to impress his visiting girlfriend (Mildred Davis), leading to a series of hilarious mishaps. The film is best remembered for its legendary daredevil climax, in which Lloyd dangles from a skyscraper clock in a scene that remains one of cinema’s most unforgettable moments.

Restored in high-definition by the Criterion Collection, this edition preserves the original brilliance of one of the greatest silent comedies ever made.
