It’s a silent movie. Not very complicated; the humor is for people 100 years ago. But there’s a *lot* of “how did they do that?!” moments.

Perfect length and the effects are great even by today’s standards - worth watching for the technical aspects alone

A fun little film with no special flairs or strings attached, just classic Buster Keaton slapstick. Some of the effects are very impressive

A highly amusing silent comedy. Frankly, I think it's better than most of Chaplin's comedies.
