Description
Buster Keaton stars as the effete son of a gruff steamboat captain, sent to help his father battle a rival company on the Mississippi River. Hopelessly out of place in his father’s rough-and-tumble world, the son must prove his worth when disaster strikes, culminating in one of the most astonishing stunt sequences in film history—the falling façade of a house that Keaton survives by standing in the exact spot of an open window.
Although not a commercial success on release, Steamboat Bill, Jr. is now celebrated as one of Keaton’s crowning achievements, blending romance, satire, and breathtaking physical comedy. Its climactic cyclone sequence stands as a landmark of silent cinema and a testament to Keaton’s daring as a performer and innovator.
