Review of Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928) by Chris B — 07 Feb 2014

Another amazing Buster Keaton film and filled with some of the most ornate and dangerous site gags ever captured on film. The film is only 70 minutes long but is comprised of a ton of hilarious set pieces and stunts within the aforementioned running time.

While it isn't my favorite Keaton film to date, that honor is The General (1927), it is nonetheless spectacular and a wonder to behold. Films like this literally take you back in time with them and viewers get an inside look at the past.

This was the first of my introductions of Buster Keaton to my brother Jon, who saw the film for what it is and with an open mind, fell in love with it. Highly Recommended!
