About event
With surprise supporting film!
(The Navigator) * USA 1924 * Director: Buster Keaton, Donald Crisp * Screenplay: Clyde Bruckman, Jean C. Havez, Joseph A. Mitchell * Production: Joseph Schenck * Camera: Byron Houck, Elgin Lessley *
With: Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Fredrick Vroom, Noble Johnson and others * 59 min. FSK 0 * Silent film with English subtitles.
By a stupid coincidence, Buster, a millionaire's son with no life skills, and his chosen one find themselves alone on a large steamer on the high seas. After numerous incidents that highlight Buster's sense of practicality and the girl's talent for the impractical, they even escape a tribe of cannibals. (filmdienst.de)
The success was overwhelming, the box office result was one of the best of all comedies from the Keaton studios and was only surpassed by “Battling Butler”. Already a popular comedian, Keaton caught up with the most popular comedians of his time, Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd, with “The Navigator”.
Next to “The General”, Keaton's most typical silent film comedy, which presents his film personality in its purest form, is undisputedly one of the masterpieces of comic film. (filmdienst.de)
