     The Navigator
1924  NR  COMEDY  59min
CAST— Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Frederick Vroom
MUSIC— Silent  DIRECTORS— Buster Keaton, Donald Crisp

     Buster Keaton delivers another winner in this silent comedy of a nautical nature. A spoiled rich kid takes an ocean voyage to Hawaii, but boards the wrong ship. By sheer chance the only other person aboard is the girl he wishes to marry. Now comes the MacGuffin; the plot device that moves the film forward but is pointless otherwise. Spies from a warring country set the ship (which is carrying explosives) adrift. Now the boy and girl are collateral damage in a war that neither of them took part in. They spend weeks adrift adjusting to the ways of the sea (in typical Keaton fashion). Very funny Keaton feature, though very little stunt work is showcased. Ahoy.
