If you like Keaton, check out this film. The film begins with Steamboat Bill, who is excited that his son Steamboat Bill, Jr. is returning home from school. Bill wants Bill Jr. to take over the family business, but Bill Jr. resists. Instead of work, Bill Jr. is interested in Kitty, a girl he met in school. The affair is complicated when Bill Jr. meets Kitty's father, Steamboat Bill's rival. The film is best known for a daring prision escape set admist a cyclone. This is a great example of the Keaton persona and the performer's daring physical performances.
A lot of Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd's work can be found on DVD at the library or through the
Internet Archive.
