ln his second "taIkie" the immortal Buster Keaton dispIays his comic genius in full regalia. The addition of his deep, rich voice onIy serves to make his numerous pratfalls and outrageous mishaps alI the funnier.
World War l is underway and young men are eager to enlist. Elmer J. Stuyvesant (Keaton), a rich man about town, has no such pIans, but one day while looking for a new chauffeur he accidentalIy enlists in the Army. The uniform appeals to a young lady he's been eyeing, so he decides to tough it out. CIassic gags and sIapstick shenanigans highlight Elmer's tour of duty as he strives to be a hero to his country and win the heart of the girI he loves.
Keaton's priceIess scene as a female Apache dancer is a definite highlight in this amusing and originaI taIe of wartime services. |
