I’d sort of been dreading this one, based on the name alone, assuming it wouldn’t have aged particularly well (it has not aged particularly well). I wasn’t expecting it to be quite so tedious and jokeless though. <\/p>\n

There’s a few bits of good classic Buster here, with possibly the best “getting onto a horse” joke in his repertoire, and a section where he falls down a hill for a minute or so, but mostly I found it slightly wearying, to be honest.<\/p>\n

Notes<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> I watched this on blu-ray again. The screenshots are from this slightly shorter version<\/a> on youtube.<\/em><\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>Also hooray, I am actually up to 1922 now.<\/em><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> Finally doing my job.<\/em><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> It’s strange, though, how, with each passing year it feels like I’m catching up to now a bit more.<\/em><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Despite 100 years ago always being 100 years ago.<\/em><\/p>\n
