The Navigator (1924) The Navigator

The Navigator ★★★ 1924 Ever the quick thinker, Keaton actually bought a steamer headed for the scrap heap and used it to film an almost endless string of sight gags. Rejected by a socialite, millionaire Keaton finds himself alone with her on the abandoned boat. As he saves her from various and sundry perils, the gags and thrills abound—including one stunt that was inspired by a near-accident on the set. Too bad they don't make 'em like this anymore. Silent. 60m/B VHS, DVD. Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Frederick Vroom, Noble Johnson, Clarence Burton, H. M. Clugston; Director: Donald Crisp, Buster Keaton; Writer: Clyde Bruckman, Jean C. Havez, Joseph A. Mitchell; Writer: Byron Houck, Elgin Lessley.
