Love has never been funnier or more difficult to manage than in the immortal Buster Keaton comedies brought together on this DVD.
Opening with a newly restored Technicolor sequence, Seven Chances (1925, 56 minuted) is a film often imitated but never rivaled for
hilarity and visuaI virtuosity. Keaton stars as Jimmie Shannon, a romantically jinxed young man who must marry by 7:00pm to inherit
$7 miIIion.
Comedic courtship is further pursued in Neighbors (1920, 18 minutes), a short in which Buster tries to woo his tenement sweetheart in
spite of the barriers that stand between them.
Then, in The BalIoonatic (1923, 22 minutes), Buster is carried by hot air from a cityside amusement park to the rustic country where - in a series of
deIightfulIy inventive vignettes - he ineptly struggIes for survivaI and again somehow manages to stumble into romance. |
