     Seven Chances
1925  NR  COMEDY  56min
CAST— Buster Keaton, T. Roy Barnes, Snitz Edwards, Ruth Dwyer, Frankie Raymond, Jules Cowles
MUSIC— Silent  DIRECTOR— Buster Keaton  BASED ON— Seven Chances (play), by Roi Cooper Megrue

     Buster Keaton delivers again in this nail-biter of a comedy. Keaton is a small-time businessman who stands to inherit a whopping $7,000,000… providing he marries by 7:00 PM on his twenty-seventh birthday. Tonight, in other words. He has seven whole hours to tie the knot otherwise the deal is kaput. After numerous proposals and just as many rejections it seems he’s doomed to remain a bachelor. Until, that is, his business partner runs an ad in the paper offering first dibs to any female to show for an impromptu wedding. That’s when things get crazy. Women of all shapes and sizes stampede the city seeking their hopeful groom while he runs in terror through all manner of life threatening obstacle. Starts out kinda slow but when the action starts you’d better hang on. Go, Buster, go!
OUR RATING— ***
REMADE AS— The Bachelor (1999)
