High and Dizzy

1920 · 26 min · US

Directed by Hal Roach

Lloyd again, 1920, two reels: a newly minted doctor, drunk on his own wedding night, follows a sleepwalking patient onto a high ledge. Hal Roach, Fred Newmeyer. The building is the gag. Lloyd's body, years before Safety Last, already knows what a drop looks like from the sidewalk. Mildred Davis is the girl. It is a drunk short that becomes a height short, and the height is what you remember.
