The Navigator
Hurry! Hurry! Throw out the "laff" line!
Directed by Buster Keaton, Donald Crisp
Produced by Buster Keaton Productions
A buoyant silent-era slapstick romance where two socialites tumble through escalating maritime mishaps, driven by physical comedy and the promise of love.
The wealthy and impulsive Rollo Treadway decides to propose to his beautiful socialite neighbor, Betsy O'Brien. Although Betsy turns Rollo down, he still opts to go on the cruise that he intended as their honeymoon. When circumstances find both Rollo and Betsy on the wrong ship, they end up having adventures on the high seas.
