I hope if they make a Buster Keaton biopic in the coming years, they hire John Hannah of the MUMMY series.  Their resemblance is uncanny.  This silent film is actually pretty impressive as it shows a riverfront town being ripped apart by a storm.  Forget the fact that the library has no books in it when the walls fall down, it is a 1928 SILENT FILM.  The constant physical comedy of Keaton is also a hoot.  Of course silent films are hard to keep interest as seen by the modern cinephile, but this film is pretty fun.
