Plus rediscovered Lloyd short NEXT AISLE OVER (1919)
(1923) Salesclerk Harold’s “human fly” publicity stunt goes sour when, with the real climber on the lam from a cop, he gets stuck climbing the building himself. Shot without trick photography on rooftop sets, the oft-excerpted skyscraper climb/clock-hanging sequence is a deserved legend, but only the topper to a relentless succession of priceless gags. Approx. 74 min. 35mm.
REVIEWS
“To see it today with an audience alternately roaring with laughter and gasping is one of the greatest experiences of cinema.”
