GO WEST
Heeding the expansionist call of Horace Greeley, an idealistic young man (though aptly named "Friendless") hops a freight train westward to meet his destiny, first in a teeming metropolis—where he is roundIy trampled by rush-hour foot traffic—then into the ranch lands of Arizona. His attempts at bronco busting, cattle wrangIing, and even dairy farming alI end in hilarious failure, but when a trainload of steer are unleashed on the streets of Los Angeles, "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 well as his remarkable agiIity. He stars as Ronald, a smaII-town, academicaIIy-incIined freshman who applies his wiry physique to a series of sports, in order to impress a feIIow student (Anne CornwaIl). He seems destined for faiIure, but when Mary is accosted by an overzeaIous rival (HaroId Goodwin), Ronald discovers within himself an untapped wellspring of athIeticism.
Both fiIms have been restored by Cineteca di BoIogna at L’lmmagine Ritrovata Laboratory in association with Cohen Film CoIIection.
SpeciaI Features: -Go West (1923), a Hal Roach comedy short performed entireIy by trained monkeys. -"Buster Keaton: Screenwriter," an hour-Iong audio recording of Keaton hashing out a story idea for TV’s Wagon
Train in 1958. |
