Buster Keaton's best role?
It would be hard to disagree, seeing how funny he was in this.
shareIt would be easy to dissagree! With a body of work like Steamboat Bill Jr, The General and Sherlock's Smarter Bother.
shareYou mean "Sherlock Jr." Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother was a Gene Wilder film, if I recall correctly.
But you're right. Anybody who thinks this is top Keaton has never seen Keaton. Not that he's bad in this -- they let him be himself instead of trying to make him be somebody else -- but he's past his prime and there really wasn't the space to let him run.
