Steamboat Bill Jr (Special Edition)

Film Description

College graduate Buster returns to assist his hefty and disapproving Pa compete for riverboat trade with a wealthy rival - whose daughter Buster happens to be courting. Another exceptional, effervescent comedy with a blistering cyclone finale, continuing the deadpan charm, athletic stunts and beautiful timing typical of the silent screen's 'chivalrous angel'. It also features the incredible 'falling side of a house' scene in which Keaton allowed himself two inches clearance all round. Half the crew couldn't watch in case this time he really did kill himself. Amazing.
