Plot

Three parallel love stories in the Stone Age, ancient Rome and the present.

Sinekatalog’s take

Buster Keaton's first feature spoofs Intolerance with parallel love stories in the Stone Age, Rome and today. Funny and inventive, with inspired gags, it is an early, ambitious and charming comic showcase.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
