Brilliant piece of cinema from the silent era.
Great stunt work. Last thirty minutes kept me on the edge of my couch
Holds up really well, not only for the building climb at the end but the fantastic physical comedy all the way through.
Holds up surprisingly well, great stunts, really rather amusing.
might be the oldest film I’ve laughed at if i’m being real
Very clever silent film, aside from the iconic climbing scene there’s a lot of charismatic charm and chaotic fun from beginning to end.
Classic physical comedy with scenes that should be made into more memes
Up there with the giants of the era like Keaton and Chaplin. I can’t imagine any one, of any age, not having a good time watching this.
Funny idea that actually stayed fresh longer than I thought it would. Lloyd was fun and smart. Nice camera tricks.
If you enjoy silent film slapstick, this is considered one of the best. The hanging clock face is one of the most iconic shots of all time.
