Review of Our Hospitality (1923) by Mike M — 12 Dec 2010
The final round of stunts is technically impressive, but more a trapeze act than anything truly funny - with it arrives the suggestion that Keaton was hung up on hanging around, just as Chaplin was on tugging on his audience's heartstrings.
In Willie McKay, though, the performer was to find an analogue for the new medium: a plucky contender capable of great civilities. The result's never less than genial entertainment, and a reminder the movies did, once upon a time, have the best of intentions and were, more or less, wholly innocent.
