Harold's a poor country boy who comes to the city to make good -- in hopes of eventually marrying his hometown sweetheart. In the meantime, however, he works as a department store clerk and sends his girl optimistic letters that lead her ... Full Descriptionto believe he is well on his way to success. So, on her mother's advice, she packs her bags and goes to join him. Soon Harold's doing his best to convince her that he really is a boss... A high point: the justifiably famous scene where Lloyd climbs up the 12-story department store building, and hangs over the downtown streets on the hands of a clock.
A 1920's "yuppie," Lloyd climbs the corporate ladder in this early comedy featuring his famous dangle from the hands of a giant clock.
SAFETY LAST was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1994. Although Harold Lloyd swore for years that he had done all his own stunts, after his death it was finally revealed that the famous climb up the 12-story building was done with the aid of a stuntman.
