Steamboat Bill Jr.
Jonny Best, piano and Trevor Bartlett, percussion - The Stoller Hall
Program Info: Buster Keaton battles love, family, and a cyclone in this timeless comedy
The Film Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928) shows Keaton at his best, mixing breathtaking stunts with warm-hearted comedy. A mild-mannered graduate returns home to help his tough father run a steamboat, only to face disappointment, chaos, and a cyclone that tears the town apart. Packed with unforgettable gags — including Keaton’s legendary falling house stunt — this silent classic is both a showcase of visual comedy and a touching father–son story.
Whether you’re a lifelong Keaton fan or discovering silent comedy for the first time, Steamboat Bill Jr. delivers laughs, thrills, and timeless movie magic.
The Music Pianist Jonny Best and percussionist Trevor Bartlett bring the film to life with a brand-new improvised soundtrack, making every gag, stunt, and storm hit with fresh energy.
