OUR HOSPITALITY is one of Buster Keaton's best silent films, a hilarious spoof of the story of the feuding Hatfield and McCoy families, beautifully blending slapstick and death-defying stunts with a parody of Southern melodramas.
The Canfield and McKay families have been feuding for years, and when Jim Canfield challenges John McKay to a duel, they both wind up getting killed. McKay's widow takes her one-year-old son Willie, who's the last of the line, to her sister's in New York. Twenty years later, Willie (Buster Keaton)
is notified that he has inherited the family estate and should return home. He boards a rickety old pioneer train, and befriends another pass...
