Kammerphilharmonie Graubünden «Safety Last»

The legendary slapstick comedy "Safety Last!" (1923) featuring Harold Lloyd in the lead role will be presented in a special performance with the Graubünden Chamber Philharmonic under the direction of Laurent Zufferey. The music composed specifically for the film by Robert Israel adds new life and charm to the images. The famous scene at the skyscraper clock stands among the milestones of film history. The turbulent story of a young man who transcends himself out of love and ambition – in the truest sense of the word – continues to delight with its pace, wit, and breathtaking stunts. A unique cinema experience in the spirit of the golden film era.
