Neighbors (1920)
Country: US
Technical: bw 18m
Director: Edward F. Cline, Buster Keaton
Cast: Buster Keaton, Virginia Fox, Eddie Cline, Jack Duffy
Synopsis:
Slum-dwelling lovers pursue each other in spite of the neighbourhood fence and disapproving fathers that keep them apart.
Review:
This virtually plotless short is nevertheless full of classic Keaton gags, the most inventive involving a washing line, the most perilous a chase back and forth between two second storey windows on the tiered shoulders of his confederates. The opening quid pro quo around a love note passed through the fence is a masterpiece of visual economy.
