Viewing Notes
When I watch early films like Safety Last! (from the The Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection Vol. 1) I always try to imagine how the audience reacted upon seeing this when it was originally shown. According to the commentary the viewers were quite engaged and laughed at all the slapstick gags. Of course, it’s a different perspective now viewing 86 years later. Not surprisingly still an entertaining watch and, most of all, the iconic clock scene at the end.
