this be kind of a typical buster keaton story and except in reverse represent the girl come along earlier in the movie and the men be impress with him early on and everything work out for him early on and and then the rest of the movie be him try to maintain his luck versus try to get the girl against all the force of bad luck . it also go in a couple surprising direction and which be noteworthy . i notice through the evolution of keaton movie that he do more and more acting and less and less physical comedy and with the exception of course of the saphead and which be his first feature length that be mostly drama base and not slapstick base . by now and 1926 and keaton know what he do and know where he go and and thus this be a pretty clean and well put together movie . still and the stuff he do in the training ring scene be amazingly original and marvelous . when watch this movie and one expect something more along the line of chaplin moment in city light and where he dodge around limberly and almost succeed . not the case and this be more real and brutal . marvelous stuff and really and and surprising in it own right . polarisdib .
