1h 18m
Directed by Buster Keaton • 1926 • United States
Starring Buster Keaton, Snitz Edwards, Sally O’Neil
Cited by Buster Keaton as one of his personal favorites among his own films, this knockabout adaptation of a Broadway play revolves around a case of mistaken identity between two Alfred Butlers—one an effete millionaire (Keaton), the other the heavyweight champion of the world (Francis McDonald). Coincidence brings them to the same backwoods Kentucky neighborhood, where Butler-the-fop finds love with a mountain girl, but not before antagonizing Butler-the-brute into a Madison Square Garden grudge match.
