Cops (1922)
Country: US
Technical: bw 18m
Director: Edward F. Cline, Buster Keaton
Cast: Buster Keaton, Virginia Fox
Synopsis:
Buster's girl tells him he must succeed in business first. His attempts to do so wind up with his being arrested by hordes of police as an anarchist.
Review:
Inventive star comedy with no real plot to speak of, the first half being an elaborate quid pro quo and the second a totally new idea prompted by the annual police parade. Just goes to show, you can make entertainment out of nothing at all sometimes, and here Keaton's inventiveness leads to a succession of gags that threaten to burst out of the screen.
