1923 classic and most acclaimed film. #HaroldLloyd performed most of his own stuntwork, but a circus performer was used in the rope trick. A number of different buildings from 1st Street to 9th Street in downtown Los Angeles, all of different heights, were used, with sets built on their roofs to match the facade of the main building, the International Bank Building at Temple and Spring Streets.
