Film critic Dennis Schwartz wrote, [The film is] one of Busters superior silent comedies thats noted for his usual deadpan humor, frolicsome slapstick, the number of very funny sight gags, the many innovative technical accomplishments and that he did his own stunts (including the dangerous one where he was hanging off a ladder connected to a huge water basin as the water poured out and washed him onto the railroad track, fracturing his neck nearly to the point of breaking it. Keaton suffered from severe migraines for years after making this movie). (Wikipedia) youtu.be/Xr6arzv4e2g
