COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Quite impressive submitted by brooksza on August 15, 2022, 11:45am How did they do the storm? What a stretch.

Buster Keaton's stature is so small compared to his on screen father. But he's as physical as I've seen. Music is great with this, I hope this was the original movie composition, it all fit perfectly.
