Der Navigator (1924)

Bemerkungen:

Brilliantly exemplifying Buster Keaton's ability to mine rich humor
from the inanimate, 'The Navigator' (1924, 65 min.) is a classic of the
Golden Age of Comedy. Keaton stars as Rollo Treadway, an inexperienced
lad of extraordinary wealth, but little common sense. He finds himself
adrift on 'The Navigator,' a 500-foot yacht, with no one but an equally
naive girl (Kathryn McGuire). Together they face the misadventures that
befall them on the high seas, from cannibals to unfamiliar domesticity.
As a special feature, this DVD includes two additional shorts
demonstrating Keaton's penchant for maritime mayhem. In 'The Boat'
(1921, 22 min.), Buster and family set sail aboard the homemade
'Damfino,' while in 'The Love Nest' (1923, 20 min.), a recently
rediscovered lost film, he trades sailboat for U-boat to plumb new
depths of hilarity.
