MCT:March 14, 2008OUR HOSPITALITY (1923)
directed by John G. Blystone & Buster Keaton
starring Buster Keaton, Joe Roberts, Ralph BushmanAfter inheriting the family house a young man take the train to the town he was born, on his way he meets a young girl and they soon develop affinities. She invites him for supper and he soon realizes her family and his have had a feud for generations and they want to kill him - not the girl though - but he is safe as long as he stays in the house cause their code of honor prevent them from doing him harm as long as he is their guest.This is obviously a silent film and Buster Keaton is pretty good as usual. There are lots of fun and funny visual jokes. Lots of zany moments, as it is expected but it all look like a one-joke film. Still, it is simple genuine fun. Some stunts are absolutely incredible. Not Keaton's best.

A classic Keaton film with a very solid and original plot. Perhaps among his most decent efforts. Not necessarily the film to start with... but definitely a must-see of his.

The first Keaton film I saw and still one of my favorites. Fantastic subtle gags and an adorable dog. Also, keep an eye out in the river scene; if you watch closely, you can see where a safety rope attached to Buster snaps. He almost got swept away and drowned filming that.

Very Very interesting for a 1929 Film! Makes you wonder what their lives really were like with such brilliant works in their hands

The setup is very simple and the film is anchored around two outstanding sequences. The first sees gags and visual treats a-plenty on a cross country journey on a recreation of Stevenson's 'Rocket. The second is the requisite chase sequence which ends with one of the most impressive stunts I've ever seen. It could do with a little trim here and there, but the sheer bravado of the set-pieces and Keaton's impressive performance more than make up for that.
