More Amazing than Funny


Not that it wasn't funny but more gag based humor which seems to be dependent on the ear and culture in which it was filmed. But I guess all comedies are like that.

But beside that the stunts were absolutely amazing and the story itself was engaging. Amazing camera angles and breathtaking views of 1920's Los Angeles. To this day I guess people don't know if Harold Lloyd really climbed the building or not and whether how dangerous his stunts were.
