BUSTER KEATON Double Feature: OUR HOSPITALITY and THE CAMERAMAN to Screen at Heritage House Arts & Civic Center; 1428 Jenkins Road, on Thursday, Aug. 16 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. There is no charge for the event.
Yes, "Ol' Stoneface" is coming to Heritage House for a special presentation of two of his very best films . . .
In OUR HOSPITALITY, a satire of Southern manners -- in the best "Hatfields & McCoys Tradition," a man returns to his Appalachian homestead, falling for a young woman along the way.
The only problem is — HER family has vowed to kill every member of HIS family!
“A consistently hilarious, highly-watchable Keaton classic!”
-- Steve Crum - Dispatch Tribune
Rated 96% on Rotten Tomatoes :-)
In THE CAMERAMAN, a clumsy man, hopelessly in love with a woman working at MGM Studios, attempts to become a motion picture cameraman in order to be close to the object of his desire.
“Keaton's feature (The Cameraman) is easily the best work he did within the studio system."
— Dan Jardine - Apollo Film Guide
Rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes :-)
OUR HOSPITALITY is presented as the 'first half' of the BUSTER KEATON Double Feature and runs 1:30. The 'second half' -- THE CAMERAMAN, runs 1:20 and will start immediately after a brief 5 minute break.
