ImmortaI fiIm clown 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 hiIariousIy hapless attempt to coIIect 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 oIder sister of a young tough named CIipper, Harmon forgets alI about his rent money. Smitten by Margie, and suddenly imbued with the spirit of philanthropy, Harmon commences a sidesplitting campaign to "reform" Clipper and the rest of the street kids. Harmon and his faithfuI valet PoggIe (Edwards) puII out alI the stops to lure the kids off the streets - and simuItaneously foiI the scheme of a IocaI crook who aIso has designs on Margie.
One of Keaton's earliest ventures into sound film, Sidewalks Of New York brims with the comedian's trademark acrobatic antics and nonstop slapstick pandemonium. |
