Harold Lloyd’s Safety Last! (1923) with live score

Live piano score by Tom Marlow

Celebrate over a century of harebrained schemes and vertigo-inducing scenes with the lovable Harold Lloyd!

A publicity stunt gets out of hand and leads to a death-defying police chase as our hapless hero attempts to simultaneously impress his girlfriend and save his job.

Safety Last! features one of the most iconic set-piece scenes in film history and cemented Lloyd as one of the bravest comedians in Hollywood, continuing to perform all his own death-defying stunts – despite having already lost a thumb and finger doing the same.

“The Lucky Dog Picturehouse mix a lip-smacking cocktail of classic silent movies and zesty new live music, garnished by their own delight in entertaining and educating an audience. Whether you’re a silent-cinema newcomer or an aficionado, their events make you feel like a lucky dog yourself.” Nicholas Barber, film critic, BBC Culture

“They have a rare ability to enchant both expert audiences and children seeing silents for the first time” Jonathan Wakeham, London Comedy Festival (LoCo)
