Produced and Directed by Hal Roach. Cinematography by Walter Lundin. Titles by H.M. Walker.
Starring Harold Lloyd, Mildred Davis, Roy Brooks.
High and Dizzy was Harold Lloyd's second of his so-called "thrill pictures" and it would be more experimentation in the film medium for his "thrill" masterpieces that would follow such as Never Weaken (1921) and his feature Safety Last! In Lloyd's later years, he complained that he was being regarded more as a daredevil artist for which he was not. He had only made 5 thrill pictures and his best work had to do with completely different subjects. However, today Lloyd is regarded more as an actor and an exceedingly innovative filmmaker than a stunt artist.
High and Dizzy revolves around Harold and his friend Roy (Roy Brooks) who decided to drink a lot of liquor and soon get unbelievably drunk and this is how Harold finds himself on the side of a s building, clinging to whatever he can grab hold of to stay alive. His girlfriend (Mildred Davis) is on one of the upper levels of the building and Harold has found her sleepwalking right on the edge. High and Dizzy is one of Lloyd's funniest comedies and a delight to watch. The highlight comes about when Harold looks down to the street below him and his hair goes up like lightning. This was a terrific special effect and Lloyd would use it again to great effect in Hot Water (1924) and Feet First (1930).
