About the Film
The legendary Harold Lloyd stars as a country boy who has recently moved to the big city with high hopes of earning money and marrying his sweetheart.
Of course, in this slapstick comedy, nothing goes according to plan. In one of the most famous scenes of the silent film era, Lloyd dangles precariously from a clock as traffic buzzes twelve stories below.
This year marks the thirtieth season of Last Remaining Seats! To celebrate, we’re showing some of the best films screened over the past three decades . We screened Safety Last! at the Orpheum Theatre in 1988 and 2011.
