| Summary |
Go West: Heeding the expansionist call of Horace Greeley, an idealistic young man (though aptly named "Friendless") hops a freight train westward to meet his destiny, first in a teeming metropolis--where he is roundly trampled by rush-hour foot traffic--then into the ranch lands of Arizona. His attempts at bronco busting, cattle wrangling, and even dairy farming all end in hilarious failure, but when a trainload of steer are unleashed on the streets of Los Angeles, "Friendless" decides to undertake an unorthodox, single-handed round-up |
|
College: Keaton's ode to varsity life demonstrates the performer's trademark brand of visual comedy as well as his remarkable agility. He stars as Ronald, a small-town, academically-inclined freshman who applies his wiry physique to a series of sports, in order to impress a fellow student. He seems destined for failure, but when Mary is accosted by an overzealous rival, Ronald discovers within himself an untapped wellspring of athleticism. |
