Certainly is a hurricane of laughs
“When it comes to comedy, have a particular appreciation for the witty and sophisticated kinds, of which there are many classic examples out there. The same can be said for comedies that take a broad approach without being too juvenile or crass, am far less keen on those kinds of comedies and too many of them today overdo to puerile effect. There are many instances of silent films/comedies, seen with Charlie Chaplin, prime Laurel and Hardy and with Buster Keaton.
Have always considered Keaton one of the greats, as do a great many. It is a shame that he didn't transition as smoothly into the sound era from the silent as Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy, because in his prime (the 1920s) he was every bit as great, as funny and as likeable.

1001 Movies ... my own version (1920's) (81 movies items)" Notes: Even though I'm a huge fan of Charlie Chaplin, I must confess, I have always been kind of oblivious about Buster Keaton. Indeed, so far I only saw 'The General' which didn't really blow me away. Anyway, this was my second movie starring Keaton and I really enjoyed it though. Basically, the plot was some kind of typical 'Romeo and Juliet' tale and it was a good excuse to get some funny jokes and spectacular stunts. And that's also probably the reason I still prefer Chaplin to Keaton. Ind"

TCM’s Essentials Vol 2: Another 52 Must See Movies (52 movies items)"“This film is now considered one of Buster Keaton’s masterpieces, but in 1928 it was the latest Keaton film very poorly at the box office – which was especially hard on him because at that time, Buster was financing his films with his own money…. After this he signed a contract with MGM, he basically got lost in the factory mentality of the studio system…and soon realized he made the worst mistake of his life. He never again enjoyed genuine creative freedom…. But this film was made"
