Catching up on these old comedies you spot different things that what you saw when watching them years ago. Apart from the straightforward humour I now see how much surrealism is involved in some of the setups, the train journey in 'Our Hospltality' is a masterpiece in taking a simple joke into higher levels. Well recommended
Keaton's inventive, thrilling, endearing, poignant, intelligent, ironical, and downright hilarious. (Watch out for the 'I lost a dollar' scene in Sherlock Jr, it's textbook). Don't be put off that it's silent, the excellent musical accompaniment more than fills in the gap. Tip: Our Hospitality works well in a double-bill with 'The General'!
