Safety Last (1923)… On top of 908 S. Broadway, #losangeles. Is where they filmed this infamous scene from the movie. Amazingly some of the buildings from that era are still there. #silentmovies #silentmovies #haroldlloyd #safetylast #california #movielocations #movielocation #filmscout #filmscouting #locationscouting #locationscout #movies #movie #flick #film #travel #cinema #wanderlust #LiveTravelChannel #capturethescene #history https://www.instagram.com/p/CklWlYnLFY8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yes, clocks change tonight (at 2am) - will this be the last time??? Many countries plan to stop this twice-yearly clock change. In the meantime, I trust you are enjoying this fun, classic clock change video clip (info about it below). And be soft if someone misses a meeting, as I know the pain...years ago, it was me: I missed my flight from Auckland New Zealand, by mistaking the time change then. Isn't this a good time for a change! TO DO: Change time* at 2am by 1 hour on 1st Sunday in #November (to 1am) and 2nd #Sunday in #March (to 3am) Check your calendar for when the time changes in your community (different dates across the globe). This #classic #video #clip is of #HaroldLloyd in his 1923 #movie Safety Last - an #icon from the #silent #film #era. You can still visit the film location in #Hollywood, where it was filmed with no #cgi, no #special #effect! https://bit.ly/47iAz2N Ironic history of "Daylight Saving Time": Benjamin Franklin was JOKING when he created his sarcastic essay called 'An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light'.

On Monday July 31st, I attended a showing of Harold Lloyd’s classic 1923 silent feature comedy “Safety Last”. It was at the beautiful Strand Theatre in Schroon Lake New York. The theater opened in 1922, so there is a chance that the film actually was shown there during its original release.

Live piano accompaniment was provided by Ben Model @silentfilmmusic , who is a master at his craft. When I lived on Long Island, I regularly attended his monthly silent movie presentations at the Cinema Arts Center in Huntington, New York with my friend @4dtimetraveler. I also haven’t missed an episode of his wonderful live YouTube broadcast the Silent Comedy Watch Party.

Although I've seen the movie many times before, this was the first time I saw it with an audience of 100+ people. The reaction was overwhelming. All the gags that I thought were funny when I watched it in the seclusion of my own living room, proved to be just as funny for a modern day audience, as I expected. I don't think anyone left the theater disappointed.

While the film is considered a “Thrill Comedy” and everyone remembers the daredevil high jinks as Harold scales the building, it is filled with dozens of great comical moments building to that memorable finale as you can see in one of my favorite clips.

Lloyd and his production team relied heavily on previewing their films in front of live audiences. This allowed them to see which gags worked, and which didn’t and also to assess if there were any sections of the film that went too long without a laugh. This allowed them to go back and re-edit and reshoot to ensure that the film was constructed for nonstop reactions.

It seems this is an annual event at the theater, so even though it was a two hour and forty five minute drive, I'm already looking forward to attending next year's performance. #silentfilm #haroldlloyd #schroonlakeny

Safety Last! (1923)

Safety Last! is approaching its centennial. Its influence and fandom are so big I know you've seen references to it somewhere. If you haven't had the delight to sit down and view it in full, you don't know what you're missing. I can’t remember the last time I laughed this hard and this loud. It’s a masterpiece of physical comedy.

Harold Lloyd (played by Harold Lloyd) has moved to the big city and wants to impress his visiting girlfriend (Mildred Davis) by making her believe he's the manager at the textile shop where he works. His efforts lead to a series of inventive and increasingly amusing gags featuring mistaken identities, Harold outsmarting or tricking everyone around him and impressive stunts.

I’ve seen stories where someone pretends to be their own boss to impress someone and even if you combine them all, they pale in comparison to the hilarity of Safety Last!. Harold is continuously using his sharp wits to get himself out of a jam, only to land into another. Anyone else would have quickly been exposed as a hack once the girlfriend shows up at the office. This guy is too smart, too fast on his feet and too inventive. A scene where he devises a way to avoid ever meeting his landlady will leave you floored from the sheer imagination and effort put into the stunt. Its 73-minute running time blitzes by like it's nothing.

There’s something pure about the comedy found in Safety Last! because everything is for real. They didn’t have computers to green-screen stuntmen onto locations and everything was shot on actual film. It was expensive to reshoot anything. Every stunt had to be practiced until it could be performed impeccably and what was shown had to be something worth seeing. During every second, Lloyd delivers. This film is like a great martial arts action movie. It's physical comedy boiled down until you have only what is absolutely necessary. The dialogue (through title cards) is kept at the barest of minimums. Everything you need to know is told through cinematography, facial expressions and body movement. Nothing stands in the way between the situation and your funny bone.

You have no idea, but you’ve seen this movie imitated and ripped off time and time again. That guy with the glasses hanging off the hands of a clock while traffic zooms beneath his feet? It's from Safety Last!. You would think the innumerable homages would lessen the impact of the real thing, but that’s not the case at all. If anything, it makes the movie that much funnier because you’ve seen people try and imitate this movie by adding their twists, and none hold up to the original. It’s so full of surprises, so clever and so universal I can't think of a single second in the entire thing that isn’t wonderful. To watch Safety Last! is to discover a new favorite.

Harold visits a school in 1922. Possibly an orphanage; sweetly, hauntingly heartbreaking. 💖 -@theofficialharoldlloyd #HaroldLloyd #1920s #oldhollywood #silentfilmstar #behindthescenes #moviemaking ©HaroldLloydEntertainmentInc. ©TheHaroldLloydTrust https://www.instagram.com/p/B3CggjHH46q/?igshid=1jwo3nbcct3in
