Trama
Lo sapevi?
- Quiz"Feet First" was the sixth most popular movie at the U.S box office for 1930.
- BlooperDuring his climb up the side of a skyscraper, Harold gets off a painter's trolley onto a closed window awning, which his weight opens up leaving him hanging from the edge. He climbs onto the top of the awning and finds the bottom of a rope from a painters cradle. It is just level with the top of the awning in long shot, but then in a close up it's then seen near the bottom of the awning, then at the original length in a long shot. The awning collapses leaving Harold clinging onto the window sill he then starts to climb up the rope to the next window, but suddenly the rope disappears for an instant and then its back.
- Citazioni
Harold Horne: I was just practicing to be a salesman, Mr. Endicott.
Mr. Endicott: You'll never make a salesman. Salesmanship is 98% personality and that's something you haven't got.
Harold Horne: Oh, yes I have! Look!
Mr. Endicott: Aw, that's not personality. That's stupidity!

Still, it's entertaining - and inventive - enough to stand on its own (even if, being so dependent on sight gags, the dialogue scenes feel awkward in comparison); the initial shoe-store segment involves Lloyd falling foul of the boss' wife, while the middle section is set aboard a sailing ship (which Harold contrives to be on along with the boss, his wife - who says she never forgets a face - and his own girl, the boss' secretary and whom Lloyd thinks is actually his daughter!)...but the genuinely hair-raising stuntwork (which, it must be said, sees no obvious repetition of the innumerable gags from the climax of SAFETY LAST!) is what really makes the film - also because it involves a lethargic black janitor (played by Willie Best, appropriately nicknamed "Sleep 'n' Eat") who, I'm afraid, wouldn't pass muster with today's PC-brainwashed audiences (especially when dubbed "Charcoal" by Lloyd himself!) and who clearly results in being more of a hindrance than a help to Harold's singularly hazardous predicament.
This was actually the star's fifth and final 'thrill' picture, which also features regular character actor Arthur Houseman invariably - and somewhat irritatingly - playing a drunkard; as for Lloyd co-star Barbara Kent, she's adequate, having already played his leading lady in WELCOME DANGER (I was also surprised to learn that she was the heroine of Hungarian director Paul Fejos' most renowned Hollywood film, LONESOME [1928], a part-Talkie which I've only managed to catch in snippets on late-night Italian TV: I did record a recent broadcast of it, presumably shown in its entirety - as the film, curiously, still bears no opening credits or any underscoring of any kind!).
