NINETY YEARS ago, when Los Angeles was a boomtown, the comics of silent Hollywood shinned up the half-completed towers and turned vertigo into laughter. Most elevated was Harold Lloyd, who built sets on lat-roofed high-rises and persuaded the audience that each shot was a potential snuff scene. It was dark comedy that spoke of the riskiness of modern urban life to an audience that walked its ledges daily.
