Anything But Silent: Silent Classics with Live Music Live Musical Accompaniment by Ben Model on the Cinema's Miditzer Theater Organ! Harold Lloyd, ranked alongside Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin as one of the Kings of Silent Comedy, stars in this classic film about a young man from the country who, in an attempt to impress his fiancee, gets involved in an outrageous publicity stunt - he must climb the side of a skyscraper! The famous and thrilling climax - where Lloyd hangs from the hands of a clock dozens of stories above the city streets - has become a landmark image of Silent Cinema. In today's age of computer-generated special effects, the film's amazing realism seems an almost impossible achievement. Shot without trick photography on rooftop sets, the oft-excerpted clock-hanging sequence is a deserved legend, but only the topper to a relentless succession of priceless gags.
