Steamboat Bill, Jr.
(1928)
Directed by Charles
Reisner this film stars Buster Keaton, Ernest Torrence, Marion Byron
and Tom Lewis. The captain of an ageing steamboat awaits the arrival
of his son who has been educated in the city and turns out not to be
what is expected.
Essentially there is
one famous stunt that draws people to this film and while it is well
done it's far too clearly the highlight of the film. The plot is
pretty simplistic and nothing to write home about. There is humour
but not as much as in The General (1926) so while the film is
enjoyable it is not Keaton's best.
3/5
