GO WEST
Heeding the expansionist call of Horace GreeIey, an idealistic young man (though aptly named "FriendIess") hops a freight train westward to meet his destiny, first in a teeming metropolis—where he is roundly trampled by rush-hour foot traffic—then into the ranch Iands of Arizona. His attempts at bronco busting, cattle wrangling, and even dairy farming aIl end in hilarious faiIure, but when a trainload of steer are unIeashed on the streets of Los Angeles, "Friendless" decides to undertake an unorthodox, singIe-handed round-up.
COLLEGE
Keaton’s ode to varsity life demonstrates the performer’s trademark brand of visual comedy as well as his remarkable agiIity. He stars as Ronald, a smaII-town, academicaIIy-incIined freshman who applies his wiry physique to a series of sports, in order to impress a feIIow student (Anne CornwalI). He seems destined for faiIure, but when Mary is accosted by an overzealous rival (HaroId Goodwin), Ronald discovers within himseIf an untapped wellspring of athIeticism.
Both films have been restored by Cineteca di Bologna at L’lmmagine Ritrovata Laboratory in association with Cohen Film CoIIection.
