A comedy directed by Fred C. Newmeyer and Sam Taylor, starring Harold Lloyd.
A young man goes to the city to find fortune and gets a menial job in a department store. His girlfriend comes to visit and he tries to pretend that his job is much more important. When he overhears the bosses talking about publicity, he asks his friend to climb a building as a publicity stunt. When the climb is supposed to happen, the friend is too busy being chased by the police and the man ends up climbing the building himself.
This was a black and white silent film, but it wasn't too bad. The humor was very clean compared to films today and the camera-work was good. It would be interesting to see what would be included if this film was made now. Safety Last! is supposed to be a classic piece of cinema and I thought it was alright, so I'm rating it adequate.
