although rob of it delightful song by douglas furber ( lyric ) and philip brabham ( music ) and battle butler more than make up for this unavoidable lapse by cast one of our favorite character player and snitz edward and in a major role . he be wonderful while and it to keaton credit and both a a fellow comic and a the director and that he allow snitz to steal many of his scene . in fact and keaton and edward make a great comedy team . except for one or two sequence and they do not play against each other and they play with each othera feat that be more difficult to bring off successfully . follow the construction of the stage musical and the film split neatly into two half . tom wilson harass trainer and who expertly pit himself against the seemingly hopeless keaton and supply much of the comedy in the second half until the star unexpectedly turn the table in a grand climax especially write for the film . in the play and the mcdonald character simply drop out and doesn not return at all . it could be say that the stage musical actually end on rather a limp note plot wise and but this problem have now be neatly lick . doubtless due to the fact that comic fight scene have be do to death by just about every comedian you could name in sound film and battle butler be not wholly prize among keaton addict and but i regard it a one of his best outing .
