| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt has Harold Lloyd, in his second talkie, again dangling from a skyscraper like in Safety Last (1923) but this time it doesn't quite work with sound. |
| User ReviewRussell SWhilst not a bad movie, it's a movie that feels as if it's just trying too hard at times. Harold is still finding his way in this early "talkie" period and the newness if it all shows. There are some genuinely great moments scattered throughout and the finale is a very clever and inventive re-working of the finale in "Safety Last". It's a fun watch but overall not as tight and cohesive as his silent era movies. |
| User ReviewGreg WLloyd's second talkie is a delightful rom-com |
| User ReviewGregory WLate last night, before retiring, I enjoyed watching FEET FIRST (1930), an early Harold Lloyd sound comedy. Lloyd plays a shoe clerk trying to win the affections of a young lady. All of the mishaps and sight gags accumulate with Lloyd finding himself hanging on top of a LA skyscraper -- recreating his famous sequence from the silent SAFETY LAST (1923) for sound film. His sound films from Paramount are very underrated. |
| User ReviewKristy PWOW. Cannot believe I actually watched a movie from 1930!! It's my grandparents' fault, I swear! ;) Anyway, it was an okay story with a few really hilarious scenes. |
| User ReviewChris .Boring Harold Lloyd Comedy, one great gag at the end doesn't save it. |
