OUR HOSPITALITY
Special Features: 100th Anniversary. Live musical accompaniment by Andrew Simpson
In this spoof on family feuds and genteel codes of honor, Buster Keaton plays Willie McKay, a New Yorker surprised to learn he has inherited an estate down south. On the train he meets Virginia Canfield (Natalie Talmadge), who invites him home for dinner. McKay soon learns of his true lineage as the last surviving son of the McKay family, the Canfields' sworn enemies. A true family affair, Keaton's wife plays the heroine, his son plays Keaton as a baby and his father plays the locomotive engineer. DIR John Blystone; SCR Clyde Bruckman, Jean Havez, Joseph A.
