4.0 out of 5 stars First comedy short released by BK Studio, March 27, 2009

By	Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

When Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle voluntarily left his Comique Studio for PARAMOUNT and a multi-feature deal, producer Joe Schenck renamed Comique 'Buster Keaton Studio.' Although "One Week" was his first release, it was actually Keaton's second completed short.

This fast-moving comedy has newly-married Buster assembling a pre-fab house from boxes that have all been maliciously misnumbered by his bride's ex-boyfriend. The result is a misshapen disaster with not a straight line to be seen anywhere. A door hangs where a second floor window should be, the kitchen sink is on an outside wall, and so on.

Despite their home's bizarre appearance, the young couple invite dinner guests; when a windstorm hits, things get pretty crazy. The film's famous closing sequence has Keaton hauling the house to a new site and it gets stuck on a train track.


This short plus many more are available at a bargain price on ST. CLAIR's 3 disc set, BEST OF BUSTER KEATON. Also includes "The General," several talking pictures and some extras.
