This incredible comedy is far, far better than his (oft over- hyped) "General"! The special effects and trick photography are astounding for it's day. There are sooo many incredible bits: Keaton on the motorcycle, "jumping thru the window" (mentioned in other reviews), and actually ENTERING a movie are classic!
(There is a scene in which Keaton falls from a watertower, and is blasted onto railroad tracks by the force of the water. He immediately gets up and starts running away. Years later, during a physical examination, it was discovered that he had actually BROKEN HIS NECK when his head hit the rail!).
You have GOT to see this film; whether you like silents or not!
