I don't understand why this film is so highly considered. The first thing I noticed was the actors, who weren't expressive at all. The character who got his money stolen was almost deadpan. Even Buster Keaton seemed flat. I didn't find this film funny at all; it had light physical comedy, but not pressed to the extreme like good physical comedy, and no real social comedy. Comparing this film to those of Harold Lloyd, I don't get the sense of life or action that made Harold Lloyd's films of the same era so funny.
