In Neighbors<\/em>, Buster Keaton wants to get married, but his trousers keep falling down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This doesn’t really have a plot at all (Buster wants to marry the girl next door) but instead it’s almost non-stop slapstick action for the full 20 minutes (with a slight interlude for a madcap courtroom scene and a ramshackle wedding). <\/p>\n

And also like I said, Buster’s trousers keep falling down. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The final sequence in this, where they’re running around stacked up on each others shoulders for no reason at all, is strangely absurd and kind of wonderful.<\/p>\n

Notes<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> I watched this on blu-ray again, but took the screenshots from this youtube version<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> I quite liked this one but there’s a few two many blackface jokes for me to be completely comfortable recommending it.<\/em><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> By which I mean there’s blackface jokes.<\/em><\/p>\n
