This film is presented by Silents, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart.
It’s that time of year again! Every August, Silents, Please! brings you a night packed full of silent cinema’s great stone-faced clown, Buster Keaton. This year, we’ll be celebrating Old Buster with some of his late-period treasures, along with one of his classic features, the deliriously entertaining Seven Chances!
SEVEN CHANCES
Buster stars as Jimmie, a young man who learns he must marry by 7 pm in order to inherit millions. After his sweetheart rejects him, Jimmie desperately scrambles for a bride, leading to frantic proposals, mistaken identities, and a newspaper-fueled mob of brides who chase our deadpan hero in one of silent cinema’s most spectacular finales.
