The Frozen North (1922)
Directed by star
Buster Keaton and Edward F. Cline this film also features Sybil
Seely. Trying to be a tough cowboy in a snowy northern town a man
gets into various misunderstandings.
Essentially this is a
parody of the works of William S. Hart which most of us have probably
not seen so some of context of this film is lost. Out of context this
is still a pretty decent comedy although not Keaton's best work. The
darker actions of the protagonist are in contrast to the characters
Keaton usually plays which does make the film a little odd.
3/5
