7/10
Pre-censorship, and all the better for it
27 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Underrated Buster Keaton comedy that mixes silent-type slapstick (including a great gag with two trains and a car) with saucy, risqué bedroom farce. Unbothered by censorship rules, this is essentially the story of a virginal man who discovers the joys of physical contact with women, and the story of a woman who will only love a man if he is polygamous! Charlotte Greenwood uses her towering frame to comic advantage and at times she almost steals the movie from Buster. *** out of 4.
