Harold Lloyd in Feet First (1930) - The Climbing Scene, Part 1

This is a scene from Harold Lloyd’s second talking picture. Having thrilled audiences with his death-defying climb in the 1923 silent film Safety Last, Lloyd decided to recreate the iconic moment, this time with sound. It’s interesting to hear his various grunts, gasps and screams as he scales the skyscraper. Don’t know about you, but the sound effects made it seem much more real - and much more frightening - to me. Silent or talking, this feat is amazing!
