Regie Charles Reisner +1
An acclaimed, rewatchable comedy.
Buster Keaton als zart besaiteter Kapitänssohn, der sich auf See und Land behaupten muss. - Turbulente Stummfilmkomödie mit viel Charme, Slapstick und spektakulären Stunts. Der alte Mississippi-Kapitän Steamboat Bill kämpft gegen den reichen Konkurrenten Mr. King. Sein Sohn ist ihm dabei keine große Hilfe. Der verträumte Dandy verliebt sich nämlich ausgerechnet in Kings Tochter Kitty und gerät damit in Loyalitätskonflikte.
Heute keine Spielzeiten für Steamboat Bill, Jr. in Los Angeles.
Yeah, I hate when tools end up in my bread too.
i just want someone to hold me the way buster keaton gingerly holds that loaf of bread in his arms.
to make up for the lack of action, buster keaton takes his stunts to a completely insane degree in the last ten minutes of the film. the rest is great “don’t talk to me or my son ever again” vibes.
It follows a college-educated young man who attempts to reconcile with his traditional father, a Mississippi River steamboat captain, while adapting to life on the river.
The film was directed by Charles Reisner and star Buster Keaton, who was a central figure in early 20th-century silent comedy.
