Perhaps the most recognizable image in silent comedy comes from “Safety Last!” – a man dangling from a clock. Harold Lloyd, bolstered by his success with a few early “thrill” shorts and inspired by a popular stunt performer known as “the human fly,” was eager to make a feature-length film that would give audiences the same excitement. In the film, Lloyd’s country boy seeks fame and fortune in the big city and ends up as an unwitting daredevil forced to scale a tall building. Lloyd risked danger with his antics, thus delivering on his recipe for a successful thrill picture: “a laugh, a scream and a laugh.” Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor directed this comedy that also features Lloyd’s wife and frequent co-star Mildred Davis. “Safety Last!” was selected for the National Film Registry in 1994. Two Harold Lloyd comedy shorts “Peculiar Patient’s Pranks” (1915), and “Ring up the Curtain” (1919), will be shown before the feature. Andrew Simpson will provide live musical accompaniment.
