| Love has never been funnier or more difficult to manage than in the immortal Buster Keaton comedies brought together on this DVD.
Opening with a newly restored TechnicoIor sequence, Seven Chances (1925, 56 minuted) is a fiIm often imitated but never rivaled for
hiIarity and visuaI virtuosity. Keaton stars as Jimmie Shannon, a romantically jinxed young man who must marry by 7:00pm to inherit
$7 milIion.
Comedic courtship is further pursued in Neighbors (1920, 18 minutes), a short in which Buster tries to woo his tenement sweetheart in
spite of the barriers that stand between them.
Then, in The Balloonatic (1923, 22 minutes), Buster is carried by hot air from a cityside amusement park to the rustic country where - in a series of
deIightfuIIy inventive vignettes - he ineptIy struggles for survival and again somehow manages to stumbIe into romance. |
