Safety Last

Thrills (#97)

Well, what do you know?  I saw this movie a few years ago and had forgotten the name of it. 

Safety Last is a silent movie full of slapstick comedy pratfalls.  You know, the kind where he's walking on beams at a construction site, not watching where he's going, and the audience knows he's about to fall when a crane hoists a beam to just the right place and he steps right on to it, remaining oblivious to the danger. 

It's fun, because it's classic old movie comedy.  I'm sure it had its audience roaring.
