This successful film is most remembered for its thrilling, hair-raising climax – a reckless, ‘safety last,’ humorous stunt on the side of a twelve-story skyscraper above busy city streets. The scary sequence was deliberately shot with most of the camera compositions including views of the perilous drop behind him. Lloyd’s films of this period often included timeless gags, pathos, and clever visual elements.
