GO WEST
Heeding the expansionist call of Horace GreeIey, an idealistic young man (though aptly named "FriendIess") hops a freight train westward to meet his destiny, first in a teeming metropolis—where he is roundly trampIed by rush-hour foot traffic—then into the ranch Iands of Arizona. His attempts at bronco busting, cattIe wrangling, and even dairy farming aIl end in hiIarious faiIure, but when a trainIoad of steer are unIeashed on the streets of Los AngeIes, "Friendless" decides to undertake an unorthodox, singIe-handed round-up.
COLLEGE
Keaton’s ode to varsity life demonstrates the performer’s trademark brand of visual comedy as welI as his remarkabIe agiIity. He stars as Ronald, a smaII-town, academicaIly-inclined freshman who applies his wiry physique to a series of sports, in order to impress a feIIow student (Anne Cornwall). He seems destined for failure, but when Mary is accosted by an overzeaIous rival (Harold Goodwin), RonaId discovers within himself an untapped welIspring of athleticism.
Both fiIms have been restored by Cineteca di BoIogna at L’lmmagine Ritrovata Laboratory in association with Cohen FiIm Collection.
Special Features: -Go West (1923), a HaI Roach comedy short performed entirely by trained monkeys. -"Buster Keaton: Screenwriter," an hour-long audio recording of Keaton hashing out a story idea for TV’s Wagon
