Sherlock jr poster.jpg
Trailer Unavailable

     Sherlock, Jr. 1924  NR  COMEDY  45min
CAST— Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Ward Crane, Joseph Keaton, Erwin Connolly
MUSIC— Silent  DIRECTOR— Buster Keaton

     Buster Keaton does what he does best: combining clueless innocence with often death-defying stunts to create a memorable comedy treat. This time around Keaton plays a movie projectionist/wannabe detective who is accused of stealing a valuable watch. To overcome his depression he fantasizes about film, placing himself in a detective film where he solves a theft. But all of that’s filler; just wait for the effects and stunt work, all done by Keaton himself, of course. This is one for fans and newcomers alike. Deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry.
OUR RATING— ***
