The Navigator
1h 6m
Directed by Buster Keaton and Donald Crisp • 1924 • United States
Starring Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Frederick Vroom
Buster Keaton sets sail for misadventure in what would prove to be his biggest commercial hit, a slapstick riot that makes ingenious use of its setting: a 500-foot, lost-at-sea steamship. Here, Buster stars as Rollo Treadway, a spoiled rich boy who’s got plenty of dollars but no common sense. When he inadvertently winds up adrift on an enormous yacht with only a similarly wealthy, clueless young woman (Kathryn McGuire) onboard, the stage is set for nautical hijinks involving an octopus, swordfish, cannibals, daredevil deep-sea diving, and more.
