Seven Chances & The Navigator – Buster Keaton Double Feature
March 13, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$11
THE NAVIGATOR, 1924, Cohen Media, 59 min. Dir. Buster Keaton. Wealthy Rollo Treadway (Keaton) and Betsy, who has rejected his proposal of marriage, find themselves on the Navigator, a ship that Betsy’s rich father has recently sold to a tiny country at war. When the Navigator drifts out to sea and grounds itself near a tropical island, Rollo and Betsy must not only learn to play house on the gigantic boat but fend off unhappy island natives who attack the vessel. One of the best of Keaton’s career, THE NAVIGATOR is filled with unbeatable sight gags, including Buster’s scuba-diving excursion with a giant squid, and a submarine that emerges at the perfect moment!
90th Anniversary! SEVEN CHANCES, 1925, Cohen Media, 56 min. Buster Keaton directs and stars as James “Jimmie” Shannon, a man confronted with a proposition both very lucky and very unlucky: He can inherit a massive fortune if he marries. The catch? The marriage must occur by 7:00 PM that day. With live musical accompaniment by Cliff Retallick.
