Why is this work an American Icon?:

It is not only the defining American comedy of its era, the very image of Harold Lloyd struggling to climb the face of a skyscraper is the visual representation of the American Dream -- strive and succeed. No special talent, no magic gift, just grit, determination and persistence will win the job, win the competition, win the girl, get you the good life.
