Harold Lloyd's "Safety Last"- 1923
Loading...
Uploaded by ElusiveAtSeventyTwo on Dec 12, 2008
As my final project for my music composition course, I wrote original music to this scene from Harold Lloyd's silent film "Safety Last". Harold is trying to get away from a police officer by climbing a building...but he's having a little trouble, isn't he? The original scene is 20 minutes long, so I cut it down to 7 and a half. At about 6:45 into the clip, I used the song "Stumbling" by Zez Confrey. Enjoy.

I thought your music was just right, thanks. Not too frenetic, just letting the visuals take centre stage.

@Punisherfan123 i was thinking the same.

@jamesmcsparron That's just amazing. If you have the chance, why don't you get those handwritten notes typed? Regardless if your grandpa had an extra " gift for the blarney" there's still plenty of people who would be fascinated to read his stories anyway. (Maybe he'd be smiling "up there somewhere" to know you finished the job, too?)

@jamesmcsparron My Grandfather did not publish when he was alive so I'd feel guilty doing so now. Besides he was a bit of a prankster so one could not tell if his book was factual or pure fantasy. My Grandmother said he told her that he once had a fight outside a courthouse with Howard Hughes because of some discrepancies over a biographical movie about Harold. Maybe she was a prankster too!

My grandfather had to work on that clock so it would not fall out completely. The stunt co-ordinator and himself used 12 packets of women's hose to secure the bottom of the clock housing. If you look closely at 4:34 you can see the toe of the stocking poking out below Harold's chin. Sadly Granda died before he could finish his book on the movie. I've read the 457 pages of his hard to read handwriting so that's how I know.
