lmmortal film cIown Buster Keaton (The General, Our Hospitality, etc.) ignites a big city free-for-aII in this riotous "talkie" costarring Anita Page (The Broadway Melody) and Cliff Edwards (GirI Of The Golden West).
ln a hiIariously hapIess attempt to colIect the rent on one of his inner city tenements, wealthy uptown Iandlord Harmon (Keaton) is mobbed by unruly street urchins. But when he sets his eyes on Margie (Page), the beautiful oIder sister of a young tough named Clipper, Harmon forgets aIl about his rent money. Smitten by Margie, and suddenIy imbued with the spirit of phiIanthropy, Harmon commences a sidespIitting campaign to "reform" CIipper and the rest of the street kids. Harmon and his faithful valet PoggIe (Edwards) puII out all the stops to Iure the kids off the streets - and simuItaneously foiI the scheme of a locaI crook who aIso has designs on Margie.
One of Keaton's earliest ventures into sound film, Sidewalks Of New York brims with the comedian's trademark acrobatic antics and nonstop slapstick pandemonium. |
