(OK) The 20 last minutes are a masterpiece, before that is just a regular comedy. The stones are tjje surrealist absurd moment, but I prefer the beginning of the big part: Keaton sleeping while the church gets crowded with the brides....

“Recently, I have been focusing on Buster Keaton’s work and, from all his movies I have seen so far, even if this movie actually has a solid reputation, it was the one which impressed me the least.

Furthermore, I’m pretty sure that there was even a white dude wearing some blackface make-up which was just so downright offensive, even if it was probably rather common back in those days. Concerning the rest of the movie, it was basically a classic comedic gimmick which has been used so many times afterwards but it wa” read more

"8.12. Buster Keaton saa jättiperinnön, mutta ainoana ehtona rahojen luovuttamiseksi on se, että Keaton hankkiutuu saman päivän aikana naimisiin. Sitten juostaan suuna päänä ja jahdataan kaikkea, jolla on hame, paitsi mustaa naista - onhan elokuvassa nyt oltava Good Ol' Racitisismia. Myös naiskuva on aivan uskomattoman tarkkanäköisen hulvaton.
