Spite Marriage
The Scream of the Screen-Buster in a Matrimonial Maelstrom – Buster's Adventure in Married Bliss.
Directed by Edward Sedgwick, Buster Keaton
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A lighthearted silent-era slapstick comedy about romantic misunderstanding and class collision, built on physical humor and the earnest devotion of an underdog suitor.
An unimpressive but well-intentioned man is given the chance to marry a popular actress, of whom he has been a hopeless fan. But what he doesn't realize is that he is being used to make the actress' old flame jealous.
