Description

Safety Last! (Pathé, 1923). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Harold Lloyd was one of the legendary stars of silent comedy and his popularity was as great as that of Charlie Chaplin when he made this classic film. In it, he finds himself a lowly clerk in a department store, trying to find a way to make enough money so that he can marry his hometown sweetheart. In a last ditch effort, he's forced to try a stunt (to scale a skyscraper) to win the prize money. Lloyd was known for doing his own stunts; this film contained many that were truly death-defying. This very scarce title card shows Lloyd as he is about to complete his terrifying climb and fall into the arms of his sweetheart, Mildred Davis. There is a small stain from the hand-tinting in the top border, one pinhole at the center top, and light soiling overall. Fine/Very Fine.
