Review of Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928) by Joe W — 03 Mar 2009

This particular Keaton film is most famous for the physical gags (the famous falling house scene which most people are familiar with, even if they haven't even heard of Buster Keaton), but I think the funniest scenes in this filminvolve Buster Keaton's insolent "city boy" in contrast to his father's manly man steamboat captain.

These jokes involving Buster's clothes (especially his "steamboat work outfit"), and a hilarious sequence involving a baby and a ukelele are some of the highlights of this silent comic classic.
