i just write a review for steamboat bill and jr. and that make this review very difficult and because i really can not decide which of these two film be well . to me and they be both nearly perfect and represent the best full length material keaton perform at least when it come to stunt and laugh . it sad really and as just after these two triumph come the sound era and a seriously negative down turn in keaton career and a mgm repeatedly give him terrible material pair him with the brash and inappropriate humor of jimmy durante . this film be probably the best of his film when it come to concept and consistency of the humor and plot . it really never lags and be both excite and funny throughout . and and for once and i have nothing critical to say about the film . no matter how many time i see it and it just seem perfect . this might just be my favorite silent comedy period . it that good . by the way and while all be practically perfect in every way about this film and this be not my favorite keaton full length film . while not a funny or fill with amazing stunt and our hospitality be an amazing film for it artistry . in addition to be the prettiest of his film and it also feature among the best characterization for keaton with a full and rich plot . my advice be to see the general and our hospitality and see two very different and probably equally great film from a master .
