Buster Keaton's Our Hospitality is a cross between the Hatfields and McCoys (here, the Canfields and McKays) and Romeo and Juliet, with him playing an orphan thrust into his family's old feud when he inherits its estate and meets the girl of his dreams, only to have her father and brothers try to kill him for some old vendetta. It actually starts like a drama, and not until he comes onscreen do things start to get humorous, with an extended railway sequence that has its own gags, but assuredly serves as a template for The General. On the one hand, the story here is stronger than in some of his more "chain of set pieces" films, but I do wish they got to the family feud quicker, having Keaton start running and fooling the assassins sooner, with ever crazier results, because after the middle section lull, it really starts to get good. The third act really takes it over the top with mountain and river gags that had me wondering how it was done - fine special effects and harrowing stunts! We're at the beginning of an amazing run for him here.Mathijsvdm

That's one of the most whimsical train rides I've ever seen.coffeejazzlofi

Excellent movie! Worth seeing for the fun and the historical insights too. For instance: Broadway and 42nd street in 1810 (today: Times square).Also: an amazing bicycle.
And: the craziest train you ever saw.
Amazing stunts by the way!...

Inventive and clever throughout. He really is pushing the envelope for the time period.HyliaFischer

That waterfall scene was so awesome. And I love the very last scene, a nice punchline for the whole movie. I won't ruin it for anyone.Showing items 1 – 15 of 17
