Go West
Leaving June 30
•
1h 23m
Directed by Buster Keaton 1925 • United States
Starring Buster Keaton, Howard Truesdale, Kathleen Myers
Notable for its streak of sweet sentimentality—rare in a Buster Keaton feature—this endearing slapstick western features the filmmaker-star as an idealistic young man (known as Friendless) who, heeding the expansionist call of Horace Greeley, hops a freight train westward to meet his destiny, landing at a cattle ranch in Arizona. His attempts at bronco busting, cattle wrangling, and dairy farming end in hilarious failure, but when a trainload of steer are unleashed on the streets of Los Angeles, he decides to undertake an unorthodox, single-handed round-up.
