Harold wants to kill himself, 2 April 2008
9/10

Harold is in love with the girl portrayed by Mildred Davis.They work next to each other in a tall building.Then a big misunderstanding happens when he overhears her saying yes to a marriage proposal.Or at least that's what he thinks he hears.So Harold decides to take his own life.But his suicide attempts tend to fail.Harold Lloyd is great as always in this Fred C. Newmeyer's short silent comedy.Never Weaken (1921) is tragicomedy at its most tragic.And yes, it's also pretty darn funny.It's hilarious to watch Harold trying to get patients on the street.It will make you gasp when Harold is high above the ground.More than once in his movies Lloyd was seen in a tall building.Maybe it represented his smallness in this big world.Or something like that.
