College

Product Description Buster Keaton goes back to school and stages a hilarious send-up of university life in "College" (1927, 66 min.). Keaton stars as Ronald, an idealistic freshman who attends Clayton College in pursuit of higher learning, but finds him instead embroiled in a war of athletics as he fights for the heart of his beloved coed, Mary (Ann Cornwall). Also included: "The Electric House" (1922, 23 min.), in which Buster turns an ordinary dwelling into an automated funhouse, whose modern conveniences go hilariously haywire at the hands of a jealous rival. Mechanical mayhem is also wrought in the shop of "The Blacksmith" (1922, 21 min.). For decades a lost film until its recent rediscovery and restoration, "Hard Luck" (1921, 22 min.), which Keaton named as his favorite short work, follows a suicidal Buster as he makes a final effort at fitting in with society at a swank country club. Tienda Ronald, the klutzy high-school brain played by Buster Keaton in College, is an inspired variation on the insulated millionaire playboys of earlier films. This bookish mama's boy who couldn't throw a fit, let alone a football, vows to become a college athlete to win the heart of the campus sweetheart. Of course in this path lies disaster, and his follies in track and field (the flyweight tries to throw the hammer and winds up flinging himself) only increase when he's made coxswain of the rowing team. Keaton's mix of energetic earnestness and flailing incompetence make his athletic tryout the film highlight, but in classic Keaton fashion Mr. Two Left Feet becomes the world's greatest athlete to save his sweetie from a bullying muscle-bound brute, mastering every event he so hilariously botched earlier in a decathlon dash to the rescue. This episodic comedy is more like his early shorts than his best features, lacking the narrative backbone that supports such masterpieces as The General and Steamboat Bill, Jr., but it's full of inspired physical comedy and Keaton's unique brand of gymnastic genius. Also featured are three short films: The Haunted House, with bank teller Buster matching wits against robbers in a gadget-filled hideout; the recently rediscovered Hard Luck, which recounts Buster's unsuccessful efforts to end it all (the missing conclusion is reconstructed from stills); and The Blacksmith, where Buster disastrously attempts to apply assembly line efficiency to a village smithy. --Sean Axmaker
