TEMPO (The Eastern Maine Pops Orchestra for Young Musicians) brings back their all-new original score that they play in synch with this hi-def, restored silent comedy classic! Harold Lloyd (With Chaplin and Keaton, one of the three comedy giants of silent films) plays a small-town bumpkin trying to make it in the big city, who finds employment as a lowly department-store clerk. He comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store, resulting in an incredible feat of derring-do on his part that gets him started on the climb to success. Laugh-out-loud funny and jaw-dropping in equal measure, Safety Last! is a movie experience par excellence, featuring the iconic sequence in which Harold hangs off of a clock face on the side of a skyscraper! The orchestra is conducted by Rebecca Edmondson- composer of this new score- and Ethan Edmondson, with thirty middle school and HS musicians from Central and Downeast Maine (some traveling from as far away as Herman and Benedicta). (1923. USA. 1hr, 13min. Directed by Harold Lloyd. G. Silent.)
