Stars of the Silent Screen: Buster Keaton in College

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A second comedy classic from the stone-faced clown, presented in a specially tinted version with piano soundtrack.
Buster plays a college student intent on impressing his girl by mastering campus customs. His attempts at athletics from baseball to rowing are predictably disastrous - but valour brings its rewards in the end.
Screenplay by CARL HARBAUGH and BRYAN FOY Music by WILLIAM P. PERRY Directed by JAMES W. HORNE Films: page 17
