Sherlock Jr./Our Hospitality—First, his most technically dazzling comedy, in which he’s a projectionist who walks straight into his movie. On the same tape/dvd, a Hatfield-McCoy comedy that includes perhaps his most amazing stunt, an acrobatic rescue over a waterfall.
The General—Confederate Buster steals his beloved train back from Union saboteurs in this beautifully authentic comedy epic. Kino’s includes the short The Playhouse, in which camera trickery turns him into an entire vaudeville troupe, orchestra—and audience.
Seven Chances—Buster has to get married by 7:00 to inherit a fortune. Climaxes in pure surreal hilarity, as Keaton is madly pursued by both an army of angry brides and an avalanche of giant boulders.
