SAFETY LAST
TCM, 1:15 p.m. ET
The TCM Classic Film Festival 2020 Special Home Edition continues this weekend, which means, just about any time you tune to TCM, you’ll be seeing something wonderful – now more than ever. Check in any time of the day or night, and you’re likely to be pleased, and solidly entertained, by what you see. Today, I’m highlighting just two of the featured offerings on this particular Saturday schedule, because I can imagine their enjoyment being enhanced if watched by multiple generations under one roof – as many of you now are, by edict or common sense. At 1:15 p.m. ET, TCM’s at-home film festival presents 1923’s Safety Last, the smash silent hit starring Harold Lloyd. You’ve seen the famous still shot showing Lloyd dangling from the hands of a giant clock – but how many people in your house right now have ever seen the entire film, or any full-length silent movie at all? Here’s your chance… and the setting, at your end, will make it a very, very memorable one.
