Anything But Silent: Silent Classics with Live Music

Harold Lloyd, ranked alongside Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin as one of the Kings of Silent Comedy, stars in this classic film about a young man from the country who, in an attempt to impress his fiancee, gets involved in an outrageous publicity stunt - he must climb the side of a skyscraper! The famous and thrilling climax - where Lloyd hangs from the hands of a clock dozens of stories above the city streets - has become a landmark image of
Silent Cinema. In today's age of computer-generated special effects, the film's amazing realism seems an almost impossible achievement. Shot without trick photography on rooftop sets, the oft-excerpted clock-hanging sequence is a deserved legend, but only the topper to a relentless succession of priceless gags.
(USA, 1923, 73 min., b/w, silent Director: Fred C. Newmeyer, Sam Taylor Writers: Harold Lloyd, Hal Roach, Sam Taylor Cast: Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis)
