The Navigator/ The Boat/ The Love Nest, September 21, 2001
This review is from: The Navigator (with The Boat & The Love Nest) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
THE NAVAGATOR is one of Buster's great ones. A classic. The majority of the movie is on the boat "The Navigator". Many very funny moments and great stunts. Buster plays the spoiled rich guy who ends up as the hero saving the girl. The scene where Buster and the girl run around attempting to find each other is a classic. Ditto for Buster playing cards with a soaked deck. Many more great moments. THE BOAT is one of Buster's best shorts. Buster, his wife and two small sons launch a boat. There are many very funny moments and great stunt work. THE LOVE NEST is also outstanding. Most of the movie involves Buster and Big Joe Roberts on Joe's boat during Buster's dream. This was Buster's last silent short.

My Review!!, July 14, 2003
This review is from: The Navigator (with The Boat & The Love Nest) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Of all the Buster Keaton videos I've seen so far I think this was the best!! It was just too funny. There was hardy a moment I wasen't laughing. One of my favorite parts was where Buster and the girl he's with are trying to find a safe place to sleep. It's the kind of movie you have to see for you self: words can't discribe it exeped for, great and funny. and even those aren't enough. It was that good.

Indispensable Keaton, April 29, 2010
This review is from: The Navigator (with The Boat & The Love Nest) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"The Navigator" (1924) was a critical and commercial triumph that helped establish Buster Keaton's place in the pantheon of silent-film comedians. Like many Keaton features, "The Navigator" showcases his mastery of props and characterization. In this instance, the expensive "prop" is an abandoned ship. As pampered millionaire Rollo Treadway, the Keaton persona falls into place: a youthful novice who proves his mettle when relying on his own devices. Though Donald Crisp received director credit, Buster actually did most of the work - displaying expert command of the cinematic medium. An ideal introduction to Keaton's timeless art.
