Review of The Boat (1921) by Gregory S — 24 Dec 2008

Wow for one of Keaton's short films he really does not hold back, it has all the technical brilliance of his full length films. Something else that stood out here is how while Keaton's films usually focus entirely on him, here the actors playing his family (including two children) do fine job of keeping up w/Keaton?s humor.

And for an interesting bit of trivia it?s actually thanks to James Mason that we have this film, since he found it after buying Keaton?s house and then saw it was restored?.just another reason to love James.
