"Never Weaken" was the first of Harold Lloyd's thrill comedies. Comedians had always scampered around in high places, but Lloyd built the film around dangerous events on a high rise building. This was Harold's last short film, a three-reeler, unless you count "A Sailor-Made Man," which had four reels.

Some people consider the four reel "A Sailor Made Man" to be Harold Lloyd's last short, while others call it his first feature. The movie is packed with stereotypes, but it is still funny.
