Never Weaken (1921)

American comedian Harold Lloyd's last short film before he moved permanently into feature-length production. It is one of his trademark "thrill" comedies, featuring him dangling from a tall building, `a technique which he was to perfect two years later in his classic Saftey First! from 1923. The plot revolves around his attempts to commit suicide after he finds out the woman he loves will marry another. Available also with an added soundtrack here.
