Right after some initial friction he decides he has fallen in enjoy with her. Alfred’s butler, who has accompanied him on the outing, is sent to arrange the marriage with the girl’s father, who thinks Alfred is also weak to turn into a member of the family members.

suemai1 November 29, 2011 at 17:00: OMG this is great! This was one of Buster’s favorite films. The ‘blank pan’ as he called it, is on full display here. Love the little kick to his opponent. Isn’t he gorgeous here, and so wonderfully clueless? Love ya, Buster. I hope you’re jumping over everything in heaven. And ‘mascotofageneration’, you’re never too young to like this- I discovered Buster when I was in college and have LOVED him ever since. Thanks for posting!!

WSenator1 November 29, 2011 at 21:54: @Busterseyes – Agreed about your points. I saw the ending to “College” on TV when I was a boy, and even then I was expecting some sentimental ending. When I saw THAT ending, though, my mouth dropped way open – and I was laughing as well. After my experiences, I still laugh at it, but I recognize the truth behind it. Like you, I appreciate Keaton’s honesty. Yeah, that was MGMs doing, not Buster’s, for The “Cameraman” By then artisitic control over his films had been taken out of his hands.
Busterseyes November 29, 2011 at 21:58: @WSenator1

You’re right. Just when Keaton tends toward sentimentality he throws in a curveball like in the film “College” when he ends marrying the girl then there are scenes of them having children, then they appear as cranky old people and then the final tombstones scene. He could be pretty dark as times which I really liked about him. Although “The Cameraman” is pretty sweet for a Keaton film but some of that may have been MGM’s idea and not totally Buster’s.
