This was quite funny in parts, but also wildly racist at the same time? The avalanche sequence is a blast and it was very entertaining to see hundreds of female extras run after Keaton in wedding dresses. 

By no means my favorite of his movies, but it was a fun way to spend an hour on a Sunday night.

aquí se intenta no juzgar a las obras de forma anacrónica, y sí, todo muy bonito y divertido, pero no hay free pass para el blackface
