Commemorating the 100th ANNIVERSARY of SAFETY LAST (April 1)

♪ LIVE PIANO ACCOMPANIMENT BY STEVE STERNER AT ALL SCREENINGS.

Harold Lloyd (1893–1971), the third genius of silent comedy, made more films than Chaplin and Keaton combined, outpaced both at the box office, and, as for gags and laughs, “few people have equalled him and nobody has ever beaten him” (James Agee). Remembered as “the Man on the Clock,” Lloyd’s unforgettable “thrill pictures” were but a small part of an extraordinary career.

Read about 'the Man on the Clock' in The New York Times and The Guardian.
