I was a bit disappointed with this movie, especially since it's billed as his most successful at the box office. Some of the gags are very good and it's always interesting to watch Buster in action, but the plot centered around his posing as a legitimate boxer was not very captivating and the resolution was not satisfying. Keaton's movies always have fantastic endings, so this was the exception to the rule. Only Keaton fanatics need to see this one. He made another movie in 1926. It was called, oh gee, what was it again?.... Oh yeah! The General! That's the one to see. In addition, the two shorts included in this set - The Haunted House and The Frozen North - are also unremarkable. Again, only for Keaton fanatics.
