With an introduction from legendary actor and funnyman Paul Dooley!
The great stone-face Buster Keaton heads to the high seas for some incredibly clever slapstick comedy in this beloved farce. The just-out-of-college, effete son of a no-nonsense steamboat captain comes to visit his father whom he’s not seen since he was a child. After falling in love with the daughter of his father’s rival, Junior’s got to prove himself a worthy sailor, husband, and son-in-law. Buster Keaton’s ingenious knack for staging, timing, and physical comedy is in full steam in this ridiculous caper that remains achingly hilarious nearly 100 years later.
