Perched high above the city streets, High Rise Hijinks is an afternoon of thrills, laughter, and breathtaking physical comedy.
The program opens with Liberty (1929), in which Laurel & Hardy find themselves stranded on a towering steel framework, where a simple wardrobe mix-up spirals into a dizzying series of near misses and perfectly timed chaos.
The feature, Safety Last! (1923), follows Harold Lloyd’s unforgettable climb up a downtown skyscraper — culminating in one of the most iconic moments in film history.
