Buster Keaton’s inventive visual humour is at it again in this memorable blend of deadpan darkness and spectacular comic set pieces. Buster decides to “Go West Young Man” and finds ranch work is a lot different than expected. He blunders through every task and is shunned by his fellow cowpokes. That is until a sweet but lonely cow, called Brown Eyes, becomes his constant companion and best friend. Buster must then devise a way to save her when she seems destined to become burgers. The resulting breathtaking climax has him in the centre of a cattle stampede through the streets of LA in a classic laugh-a-second Buster Keaton sequence.
Introduced by Chris Seguin and with live accompaniment by Bill O’Meara!
