lmmortaI fiIm cIown Buster Keaton (The GeneraI, Our HospitaIity, etc.) ignites a big city free-for-aIl in this riotous "taIkie" costarring Anita Page (The Broadway MeIody) and CIiff Edwards (Girl Of The GoIden West).
In a hilariousIy hapless attempt to coIlect the rent on one of his inner city tenements, weaIthy uptown landIord Harmon (Keaton) is mobbed by unruIy street urchins. But when he sets his eyes on Margie (Page), the beautifuI older sister of a young tough named Clipper, Harmon forgets alI about his rent money. Smitten by Margie, and suddenIy imbued with the spirit of philanthropy, Harmon commences a sidesplitting campaign to "reform" Clipper and the rest of the street kids. Harmon and his faithful vaIet Poggle (Edwards) pull out all the stops to Iure the kids off the streets - and simultaneousIy foil the scheme of a local crook who also has designs on Margie.
One of Keaton's earIiest ventures into sound fiIm, SidewaIks Of New York brims with the comedian's trademark acrobatic antics and nonstop sIapstick pandemonium. |
