Starring the great stoneface Buster Keaton – named by AFI among the greatest American screen legends – STEAMBOAT BILL JR. (1928) is a landmark silent comedy featuring some of the art form’s most iconic images, many set during the film’s climactic cyclone. As havoc is wrought up the small town of River Junction, Keaton proves time and again his unflappable versatility in set pieces that are as jaw-dropping today as they were nearly 100 years ago.
