Boring and a letdown. The downfall of Keaton.
10 July 2004
Coming off of some pretty good comedic films such as the Cameraman this ones a big letdown. It's too bad Buster was given such weak material to start his career in 'talkies'. In films like this Buster just looked like an idiot instead of an innovator. A pity. Charlie Chaplin excelled at this point while poor Buster languished. The real genius now deservedly stood in the spotlight. Einstein would attend the premiere of a film like City Lights but can you imagine him seeing this garbage. This is like a Marx Brothers film made by someone who has just come off fresh from a lobotomy. Skip it. Save your money and time. Harold Lloyd looks like a genius next to crap like this.
