Plot
A man must marry by seven in the evening to inherit a fortune and ends up chased by hundreds of would-be brides, and then by a landslide of boulders.
Sinekatalog’s take
Buster Keaton's silent comedy builds from a marriage deadline to a huge rolling-boulder chase. The avalanche finale is a showpiece of precision and daring, making it one of his funniest films.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
