You guys don't want to miss this classic! Starring one of my silent film heroes, Buster Keaton. A film so daring it nearly killed him.
Steamboat Bill, Jr. Released in 1928. This silent comedy film starring Buster Keaton was released by United Artists. The film is the final product of Keaton's independent production team and set of gag writers
Charles Reisner directed the film, and the credited story writer was Carl Harbaugh. The film, named after Arthur Collins's popular 1911 recording of the 1910 song "Steamboat Bill," also featured Ernest Torrence, Marion Byron, and Tom Lewis. The film is known for what may be Keaton's most famous film stunt: The facade of a house falls around him while he stands in the precise location of an open window to avoid being flattened.
Over the years, Steamboat Bill, Jr. has become regarded as a masterpiece of its era. On Rotten Tomatoes, 96% of critics have given the film a positive rating based on 52 reviews, with an average score of 9.00/10. The film was included in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.
Before the film we will screen a 3 minute 8mm film print digest cut of Buster keatons "Cops" released in 1922
Following the screening there will be a film discussion hosted by Isaiah Marcotte
November 30th 7pm
