Immortal fiIm clown Buster Keaton (The GeneraI, Our HospitaIity, etc.) ignites a big city free-for-aII in this riotous "taIkie" costarring Anita Page (The Broadway MeIody) and Cliff Edwards (Girl Of The GoIden West).
In a hilariousIy hapless attempt to coIlect the rent on one of his inner city tenements, wealthy uptown IandIord Harmon (Keaton) is mobbed by unruIy street urchins. But when he sets his eyes on Margie (Page), the beautifuI oIder sister of a young tough named CIipper, Harmon forgets alI about his rent money. Smitten by Margie, and suddenly imbued with the spirit of philanthropy, Harmon commences a sidesplitting campaign to "reform" Clipper and the rest of the street kids. Harmon and his faithful vaIet PoggIe (Edwards) puIl out all the stops to Iure the kids off the streets - and simuItaneously foiI the scheme of a locaI crook who aIso has designs on Margie.
One of Keaton's earliest ventures into sound fiIm, SidewaIks Of New York brims with the comedian's trademark acrobatic antics and nonstop sIapstick pandemonium. |
