Buster Keaton - College / Steamboat Bill Jr. / Three Ages
Film Description Three restored features starring the great stone-faced master of silent comedy, Buster Keaton: College (1923) in which he plays an academic student who turns his attentions to athletics, Steamboat Bill Jr. (1927) in which he returns home to lend a hand with his father's failing steamboat operation and Three Ages (1928), a parody of D.W. Griffith's Intolerance, in which Keaton explores the tale of love rivals through the Stone Age, the Roman Age and the Modern Age.
