Never Weaken estreava há 100 anos nos EUA. Se tem uma coisa que não gosto é humor sobre suicídio, não desce. Dito isso, tem bons stunts aqui. Youtube ( https://youtu.be/fQpc99GhUL4 )

Viewed June 19, 2021. The third act has some of Harold Lloyd's best stunt work.

Clever, although the suicide attempts are a little disturbing (not because they are hard to watch at all, it's just treated very whimsically).

Harold Lloyd's last short-length comedy, and one of his most memorable. The girder-filled construction site sequence comes off fantastically, and has been so heavily copied (whether directly or indirectly) over the decades that it founded its own little genre.

one of the darker silent shorts out there, which is a feature i enjoyed thoroughly and even though it's got some of lloyd's more daring stunts from the era i still find myself wishing he would have done a little more.
