This film was filmed at Keaton's own home.

It's amazing to see how luxuriously he lived before the downfall.

Check out that pool!!!!

Its an MGM film, so they were still putting some money into the production.

One of the better Keaton talkies. Some good gags.

The plot:

Reginald Denny plays the role of Jeffrey Haywood, who wants to get married to Virginia Embrey (Sally Eilers).

However, Virginia refused to marry unless her older sister, the hard-to- please Angelica (Dorothy Christy) gets married first. Angelica, in turn, finds every man she knows too dull and predictable, and for this reason prefers to stay single. J

eff then tries to make Angelica interested in the mild-mannered and timid Reggie Irving (played by Keaton) passing him off as a notorious playboy to intrigue her.

He asks his friend Polly to teach Reggie "how to treat a woman right", but he turns out to be a disastrous learner.
