Safety Last! (1923)
Movie
Released
73 minutes, Criterion restored edition. Harold Lloyd's department-store clerk turns the need to impress into an increasingly alarming climb. The famous clock image belongs to a sequence of clear physical problems, each building on what the previous floor has taught you. This restored silent feature remains an inviting discovery because its visual comedy makes the stakes instantly legible.
