The highlight of this full-length vehicle is undoubtably the huge storm towards the film's end. The blustery environment is quite uncomfortable, making Keaton's most famous stunt perhaps not as funny as it should be. Then again, I've seen that bit re-enacted so many times in the opening credits of The Goodies, that I guess I've become a bit desensitized to it.
That said, the sound effects were out of sync, and the stereo was all over the place. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot, that was the live orchestra.
(first movie of this double bill - One Week - is here)
