Summary
Three Ages was Buster's first foray into feature film production after a successful string of shorts. This hilariously inventive satire of D.W. Griffith's Intolerance follows the age-old story of misadventures on the road to finding love, retold in three separate eras, a structure that cleverly allowed Keaton to recut the film into three separate shorts if it failed as a feature. Our Hospitality is perhaps Keaton's most nuanced comedy and again finds Buster recreating a bygone era. In it, he plays a nineteenth-century New Yorker who returns to the antebellum South to claim his inheritance but finds himself also inheriting a longstanding multi-generational feud between his family and that of the woman he loves (played by Buster's real-life spouse, Natalie Talmadge).
