High and Dizzy
Dir: Hal Roach
1920
*****
No one quite plays drunk as well as Harold Lloyd does in High and Dizzy. The ledge scene was obviously where he got the idea for Safety Last and will make anyone with vertigo feel quite dizzy. The timing as ever, is spot on and remains key to it's overall success. One of my very favourites of his.
