Go West (1925): Buster Keaton


     Written, directed by and starring Buster Keaton, Go West (1925) sets his familiar character as a man named "Friendless", who heads West to find posterity and becomes an awkward Cowboy, with hilarious results. Keaton's physical humor is in fine form and the scenes of the cattle stampede through the streets of Los Angeles are classic. Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, whose career was in shambles at the time following a murder scandal, has an uncredited role, dressed in drag as a woman in a department store.
