COMEDY
Clocking in at 26 minutes that Harold Lloyd playing a doctor attempting to garner patients. By the time someone does show up, he tries to make a show for the father (Wally Howe) and his daughter at the waiting room that he is a popular doctor by putting on different disguises by trying to impress them. And it was at this point, he sees the love of his life (Mildred Pierce), during which the father was attempting to explain his daughter's sleepwalking problem. And as soon as the father realizes the love sick boy was not paying any attention to him, he then leaves the doctor's office with disgust taking his daughter with him. Down on his sorrows, the boy then goes to see his friend, another doctor (Roy Brooks) down the hall both in the same floor of a building. It is then his friend is making his own bootlegging business on the side, and out of circumstances forced the both of them to drink all the liquor. By the time they both come outside, they are already drunk, 'high and dizzy'- hence the title. One of the highlights is Lloyd on a ledge which is the stepping stone to much dangerous ledges sequences of all time in "Safety Last". This is the sixth of fifteen movies Harold Lloyd starred with actress Mildred Pierce.
