College 📚🎓 Buster Keaton 🚣‍♂️❤️

"College" is a 1927 American silent comedy film directed by James W. Horne and starring Buster Keaton, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Carl Harbaugh.

The film follows the story of Ronald (played by Keaton), a high school graduate and bookworm who enrolls in Clayton College to win the affection of his sweetheart, Mary (played by Anne Cornwall). Despite his disdain for sports, Ronald attempts to become an athlete to impress Mary, who is attracted to athletes. Throughout the film, Ronald tries his hand at various sports, including baseball, track and field, and rowing, all with comedic results. He eventually finds success and wins Mary's heart by participating in a pivotal rowing race.

Though "College" did not achieve the same critical acclaim as some of Keaton's other films, it remains a noteworthy entry in his filmography. The movie showcases Keaton's physical comedy skills as he portrays a bumbling yet determined young man trying to prove himself in the world of sports. The film's theme of self-improvement and the pursuit of love resonates with audiences, and its slapstick humor, clever visual gags, and daring stunts contribute to its lasting appeal.
