Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton was an American actor, comedian, film director, producer, screenwriter, and stunt performer. He was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname "The Great Stone Face."
In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him the 21st greatest male star of classic Hollywood cinema.
The films Keaton pay homage to his earlier work while exploring the possibilities of “Elmer,” his new comic persona.

Thank you. they used to play lots of black and white silent films at the local Shakey's Pizza restaurant. Great movie to enjoy a all you can eat buffet full of spaghetti and mojos (sliced potatoes that are fried with batter and spice).

The revolving boat scene was achieved with a revolving set. The same idea was used in Fred Astaire's dancing in Royal Wedding and in Lionel Richie's music video for Dancing on the Ceiling.

Нифигасе, какой юмор проходил в те годы. 😂 Ладно, сверлить дно что бы направить струйку из борта, но отказаться от спасательных жилетов и полезть в ванную😅

Quand ont pense que chef d oeuvre à été trouvé par James Maison l acteur qui avait acheté cette Maison de Buster Keaton il retrouva
ce film en nitrate en état de décomposition heureusement le film pu être restauré ont voi par moment qu' elle stigmate de la décomposition au début du film . Un film formidable du maître buster keaton.
