The review
Seven o'clock, or the fortune is gone. Buster Keaton has to be married by then, so he proposes to strangers. A mob of brides chases him, and a rock slide joins in. The gags are fine for a house. I laughed, and I kept a sour piece of the laugh.
The marriage is a contract with a clock, not a life. Say that over the noise or the noise will teach. He is not starting a household. He is beating a will. Those brides are a crowd, not people he knows. Funny enough on a tired night, and a bad note for a kid to file under how you choose a wife.
Journal
Keep Seven Chances in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 24. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Hollywood Dirt
36 instead of 24
Hollywood Dirt is still a comedy film, and it scores 36 instead of 24. What you gain is industry: A film crew is work.
The eight
- 2Industry
The fortune comes by inheritance if he weds by seven, not by work.
- 2Household
The marriage is a contract with a clock, not a life with a person.
- 2Piety
He proposes to strangers for the money; conscience is not what slows him.
- 4Courage
The danger is a mob of brides and a rock slide, and both are gags.
- 2Republic
The only rule on him is a will: be married by seven, or lose the fortune.
- 2Temperance
The seven-o'clock fortune keeps him asking the next stranger who might say yes.
- 3Truth
A proposal aimed at a will is not a promise of a life with that person.
- 2Stewardship
Beat the clock and what remains is a fortune, not a household kept.
