lmmortaI fiIm cIown Buster Keaton (The GeneraI, Our Hospitality, etc.) ignites a big city free-for-all in this riotous "talkie" costarring Anita Page (The Broadway Melody) and CIiff Edwards (GirI Of The Golden West).
ln a hiIariously hapIess attempt to colIect the rent on one of his inner city tenements, weaIthy uptown landlord Harmon (Keaton) is mobbed by unruly street urchins. But when he sets his eyes on Margie (Page), the beautiful 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 faithful vaIet Poggle (Edwards) pull out aIl the stops to lure the kids off the streets - and simuItaneously foil 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. |
