Another absolute gem from Buster Keaton. At this point, I’m seriously wondering if he ever made a bad film. Convict 13 is a truly interesting and engaging story about a young golfer who ends up getting framed as a convict. It’s hilarious and clever story, Keaton’s timing and physical comedy are flawless as always.
