synopsis
A humble department store clerk, Harold lets his fiancée believe he’s part of the management team. Eager to impress his superiors, he comes up with a publicity stunt to attract customers: a daredevil scaling the store’s skyscraper. But fate has other plans…
Le film le plus connu d’Harold Lloyd et un sommet du cinéma burlesque muet.
Guide des films, Éd. R. Laffont
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. Laugh-out-loud funny and jaw-dropping in equal measure!
Criterion
One of the best of Lloyd’s thrill-comedies, a superb example of his ability to mix suspense and slapstick.
