Brilliant! sophistication indeed, I started watching silent comedy films with Keaton's The Three Ages a while ago, since that night I've never enjoyed any other silent film (including Chaplin's)... even The General couldn't achieved that excitement that is inherent to Sherlock Jr. simply amazing, beautiful with an amount of surrealistic feeling in it (:

I love Kathryn McGuire in this movie. She was a true beauty in the 1920's.

incredible soundtrack, parts of it would be quite at home in a Tarantino film. I watched this purely because it featured on so many lists, and I adored it. The stunts made me hold my breath every time, apparently Keaton actually fractured his neck in the water tower scene. There aren't many dedicated performers like this nowadays.

Buster Keaton edited this feature down several times because it was poorly received by audiences, according to Wikipedia (which cites something else) so that explains the length.

...which again proves that Buster is better than Charlie :)

Is that music in the archive.org video the original score? It's incredible.

Amazing movie! Buster Keaton is a jack of all trades putting so much effort into every area of this film. Comedy gold!

Chaplin at his best, and Mary Pickford had never looked finer!
