     Battling Butler
1926  NR  COMEDY  1h 11min
CAST— Buster Keaton, Sally O’Neil, Snitz Edwards, Francis McDonald, Mary O’Brien, Tom Wilson, Eddie Borden
MUSIC— Silent  DIRECTOR— Buster Keaton

     Another tale of the spoiled-little-rich-boy, as played by Buster Keaton. Off on a wilderness excursion is pampered Alfred Butler, whose outdoor experience is rather limited, to say the least. When he meets the pretty little mountain girl (Sally O’Neil) his thoughts drift toward marriage. Her family takes one look at her scrawny new beau and decide that no wimps are to join their clan. Butler’s butler decides to intervene; he claims that Butler is actually Alfred “Battling” Butler (no relation), famed prize fighter. Now Butler must keep up with the lie by training to fight the notorious “Alabama Murderer”. But things aren’t gonna be easy. He must learn to block, dodge and parry… since there’s no hope that he’ll actually land a blow. More entertaining as a tribute to the hapless outdoorsman than as a sports comedy.
OUR RATING— **
