Harold Lloyd Collection
The pigeons all over Harold on his Safety Last climb to the Clock is, if this is at all possible,
almost a more amazing moment than Harold dangling from the Clock. This set also includes another film (Ask Father?) that includes a building climb scene that may have influenced Lloyd
to extend that into the grand attractor for his masterpiece. But the set also includes talkies
like Cat's Paw, which is really interesting historically because there's a very subtle call and
response in it between the overt (and quite casual) racism of referring to any Chinese character
as 'chink' and the way Harold speaks (or appears to speak) quite respectfully in a Chinese dialect to his Chinese host in the film. Mildred Davis appears in many of Harold's early films and 'The Boy' does seem to be very much in love with 'The Girl'.
