Sherlock Jr - 1924 ***


Buster Keaton is a brilliant silent star. He has one of the most expressive faces I have ever seen and this latest offering (which is also in my great films to see book) didn't disappoint. Keaton plays a projectionist who dreams of becoming the next great detective and spends his time reading up on the subject as the films roll. Keaton does amazing stunts and you feel totally drawn in to his escapades.
Excellent for it's time. Will want to watch 'The General' next all the way through.
