Classic Film Series: Safety Last!
Harold Lloyd's silent comedy classic—slapstick romance and big-city humor from the 1920s.
Step back in time with a screening of one of silent cinema's greatest comedies. This 1920s classic follows Harold Lloyd as an ambitious young man working in a department store while secretly pretending to be wealthy to impress his girlfriend. When he decides to enter a dangerous stunt competition for prize money, things take an unexpected turn—and Lloyd ends up performing the dare himself.
What makes this film unforgettable is its blend of physical humor, genuine suspense, and romance, all anchored by Lloyd's willingness to perform his own death-defying stunts. You'll witness the film's most legendary moment: Lloyd hanging from an enormous clock face overlooking a bustling cityscape far below. It's a perfect choice for families curious about classic cinema and interested in seeing how filmmakers created thrills before modern special effects. The Knickerbocker Theatre in Holland is hosting this screening as part of their Classic Film Series.
