As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

Trailer Unavailable













     College
1927  NR  COMEDY  1h 6min
CAST— Buster Keaton, Ann Cornwall, Flora Bramley, Harold Goodwin, Grant Withers, Snitz Edwards
MUSIC— Silent  DIRECTOR— James W. Horne

     Slight Buster Keaton silent chronicling the transformation from nerd to athlete. Keaton plays a rather weak and spindly young man who falls for a college beauty. The problem: she prefers jocks over eggheads. Keaton commences to become a Grecian god by taking up Olympian athletics. However, lacking Herculean strength or the stamina of Atlas, the results are less than remarkable. Fun scenes of Keaton’s failures at the high jump, hurdles and javelin (among others) are the main attraction here. Not quite up to Harold Lloyd’s The Freshman (1925) but worth a viewing for Keaton buffs.
OUR RATING— ** ½
