Description: "The image of a bespectacled young man dangling from the hand of a clock on the side of a skyscraper high above a city street is one of the most famous and iconic images of American cinema. However, few know the name of the young man, or know that the image is from one of the classics of silent-film comedy, Safety Last! (1923). That young man, Harold Lloyd (1893-1971), was one of the geniuses of early cinema, and created an impressive body of films that are as fresh today as the day they were filmed.".

"Now, the extraordinary story of this comic master is brought to life in Harold Lloyd: Master Comedian, a unique illustrated survey of Lloyd's life and career, recalled by his granddaughter Suzanne Lloyd, who was raised by him, and film historian Jeffrey Vance."--BOOK JACKET.
