This is one of my favourite Buster Keaton films. It was different, with Buster playing 'Friendless' who goes west looking for prosperity. He ends up on a ranch and meets 'Brown Eyes'-a cow. He becomes friends with the 4 legged beauty after removing a stone from her hoof. He protects her and vice versa, until she is to be sent away for slaughtering, and Buster goes with her, but can he save her, and get the thousands of cattle with her to the stockyards? Superbly funny and sentimental, and the last time Buster wore his traditional costume of baggy trousers, slapshoes and clip on tie. Buster actually trained 'Brown Eyes' himself. In the film, Buster is asked to smile during a card game, but does he-? THE SCARECROW is one of my favourite short's. It is about Buster and his friend (Joe Roberts) who are farmhands, and are in love with the same girl (Sybil Seely). The opening is spectacular, showing an amazing house full of tricks, which has to be seen to be believed. The madness continues with Buster being chased by a 'Mad Dog', who is actually Roscoe Arbuckle's faithful mutt. It ends with a chase and an elopement, and a river! Extremely funny and visually stunning. THE PALEFACE is about Buster, who stumbles across Indian territory and is chased away. It is madcap humour and fast paced with some amazing stunts in the wilderness and crazy sight gags. All three films are in perfect condition and show a variety of his skills. It is a great starter for anyone wanting to see Buster!
Viewer Reviews
Go West is a feature. The Scarecrow and Paleface are shorts. GO WEST is a very good movie, just a notch below Buster's best. Buster is a cowboy and his best friend is a cow. A very funny movie. There is some sentiment in Go West, which is not typical of Buster. And the pace is a little slower. THE PALEFACE is one of his best shorts. Buster walks on to an Indian reservation and ends up as their friend. The scene when the Indians start to dance is great. THE SCARECROW is also top-drawer. Tons of funny sequences.
