STEAMBOAT BILL JR (1928)

CHARLES REISNERBUSTER KEATON

Plot

Buster returns home to his estranged father, a tough, no-nonsense steamboat captain, and while the two are as different as chalk and cheese the father and son are drawn together when a no-good rival attempts to take over Bill Sr's Mississippi business. One of Buster Keaton's best, the list of breath taking stunts include the classic collapsing house, where our hero is saved only by the open top floor window. Genius.
