Schwerin
(Germany) 
Safety Last!
Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle Schwerin - Mecklenburgisches Staatstheater


Program Info:
As part of the 33rd FILMKUNSTFEST MV, a classic film will be shown again with live musical accompaniment by the Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle Schwerin. This time, the famous comedy with silent film star Harold Lloyd, SAFETY LAST!, will be shown:

In order to finally get rich and marry "the girl", "the boy" moves to the big city. But luck is not on the street there either, and so he ends up working behind a shop counter. When his fiancée arrives to visit the "successful businessman", Harold literally has to risk his neck to get some money at the last minute. He devises a major advertising campaign for the company that employs him: climbing a skyscraper for $1,000. Through a chain of unfortunate circumstances, it is ultimately he himself who is suspended at a dizzying height above the abyss. On the hands of a giant clock, he fights for all-encompassing success (money, life and the girl) or a fatal fall.


In his new composition, the renowned conductor and composer Sir Carl Davis was inspired by the popular music of the 1920s and based his orchestration on the line-up of the legendary Paul Whiteman Band.
