Harold Lloyd – Safety Last

This clip is from 'Safety Last' starring Harold Lloyd. This clip shows him climbing up the side of a building, trying to get away from a police officer.

This film also uses slapstick comedy, as is evident when hes being pulled up the building by a rope and gets his head pulled into a ledge repeatedly.

The film doesn't use speech, when the characters are speaking the camera cuts to a board with what they're saying written on. In this clip there aren't too many camera cuts, most likely due to the difficult filming location they used.
