Eric's Impressions: Another enjoyable film from Keaton and sadly the last one in the book to review. It has all the usual Keaton film characteristics: intense stunts and action sequences, a forbidden love story and an unexpected hero. Like Chaplin, Keaton should not just be applauded for his acting and comedic talents, but for his ability to convey the message of the storyline through his directing skills.
Natalie's Impressions: This is the last Keaton film included in the book and one of the first of his that I saw. I honestly don't remember much of it now that I have seen his other films. Nothing stands out as being unique to this film that his other films didn't have. But that doesn't mean it is not a good film. I do remember being very entertained by it and impressed by some of the stunts, but then again, all Keaton films have this effect.
COUNTDOWN: Just 968 movies to go!
