    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The stunt where the wall falls on Buster Keaton was performed with an actual full-weight wall. Half the crew walked off the set rather than participate in a stunt that would have killed Keaton if he had been slightly off position. Keaton himself, told the previous day that his studio was being shut down, was so devastated that he didn't care if the wall crushed him or not.
    • Goofs
      During the final cyclone sequence, a cable pulling down the entire front of a building is clearly visible.
    • Quotes

      William Canfield Jr.: That must have happened when the dough fell in the tool chest.

    • Connections
      Edited into The Golden Age of Buster Keaton (1979)

    In the Top 3 of Keaton's films.
    This is one of Keaton's best, just behind The General and Sherlock Jr. The story is much more coherent without the surreality of Sherlock Jr., yet has more of Keaton's famous physical comedy that wasn't as prevelant in The General.

    Everyone talks about the Wall Falling Scene. It is astounding to be sure, but for sheer belly laughs, watch the scene in which Bill Jr. is made to try on a multitude of hats by his father. Note that the one hat Bill Jr. seems to hate is Keaton's own signature "Porkpie" hat.
