Our Hospitality (1923)
Directed by John G.
Blystone and star Buster Keaton this film also features Joe Roberts,
Natalie Talmadge and Ralph Bushman. A man made orphan following a
feud between two families heads south to inherit the family estate.
Some of the humour
here is based on stereotypes of Southern hospitality and a specific
feud from US history which means some things may go over the head of
foreign and/or modern viewers. It takes a while for the film to get
going but the basic set up provides plenty of scope for wacky events.
There are plenty of stunts, maybe not as impressive as some other
Keaton films, but still plenty to keep you entertained.
3/5
