Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe most famous scene of this film originated by accident. In the filming of a chase scene down a steep slope, Buster Keaton inadvertently dislodged some rocks which tumbled after him as if in pursuit, and he had to scramble to dodge them. At a preview showing, Keaton saw that that accident got the biggest laughs in the film. Thus inspired, he decided to reshoot the scene with over 100 papier-mâché "rocks", ranging from pebbles to six-foot boulders, so his character would have to deal with a massive avalanche in the scene.
- GoofsJust as the horde of would-be brides overruns the college football game, one of the players can be seen throwing himself to the ground, already pretending to be trampled.
- Quotes
Title Card: By the time Jimmie had reached the church, he had proposed to everything in skirts, including a Scotchman.

Review
Featured review
A very, very funny film!
I'm sorry to hear that Keaton didn't care for this film, because it was a truncated version of this film that introduced me to Buster Keaton when I was about six.
When the film gets going, it really takes off and I mean off the ground. The big chase in this film is a joy to see.
This is a must see Keaton film.
