This is a movie pretty much entirely designed to get us to the last 20 minutes, and what a 20 minutes it is. The first portion of the movie is enjoyable enough, but the last 20 minutes, the famous building climb set piece that leads to the clock hanging moment that is one of cinema's most enduring images, is an amazing mix of action and comedy that measures up to any era's standards. Even if you think you don't like silent movies, I think you'll like at least the last 20 minutes of this.

It would almost be a fairly average silent comedy if not for it's incredible final sequence where Lloyd scales a 5 or 6 story building. Intellectually I know that there's a bit of trickery a foot. Some forced perspective is making it look higher, there's a mat hanging out of camera range and sometimes it's a stunt man. I also know that there's damn little trickery compared to today, and sometimes, Lloyd put his life at risk to deliver this bravura sequence.

The first part with various shenanigans as a shop clerk are fun, but the movie of course really gets going in the more famous second half in which Lloyd climbs the building. Resulting in multiple moments that still left me gasping nowadays.

The climbing scene is nice, but everything before that is pretty dull and pedestrian.

This was a really fun and exciting film with the building climb being the highlight but there are lots of other fun things to enjoy along the way.

Enjoyable early comedy that really seems to have two parts: the first is an everyman-story of Lloyd trying to pull in a decent income for him and his fiancee, but bumbling all the way. The final twenty minutes is the famous climb to the clock, which seems more stuntwork than comedy. If you've only ever seen Chaplin and Keaton, Lloyd tends to merge the best of both.

My introduction to the wonderful world of silent comedy. A still from this film hangs on my bedroom wall as a reminder of the power of cinema.
