One of Buster's Best
24 May 2001
For a 1923 film on the early 1800's, Buster does a great deal of poking fun at a changing America. For starters, Keaton shows what Time Square looked like before there was any traffic. Two dirt roads that connect at the square. An early invention called the peddle less bicycle is made a joke as Buster attempts to take a ride on it to town. And if that's not funny enough, we see an early train ride (Unlike the General) where the train only fits ten since its only made up of buggies without the horses.
