What! No Beer?

Two of comedys greatest masters Buster Keaton and Jimmy Durante appear together in this effervescent and irreverent slapstick about a couple of regular guys trying to cash in on the end of Prohibition. Durante is a barber who talks Keaton, his dim-bulb taxidermist buddy, into spending his lifes savings on a brewery. Determined to be first, they start making beer before Prohibition is actually over. That makes their competition bootlegging thugs something they didnt count on! Then, Buster falls for one of the gangsters molls, the cops get into the act, and Keaton and Durante have to figure out how to get out of the beer business before theyre done in! From a story by Robert E. Hopkins (Anita Loos screenwriting partner on San Francisco), this timely farce, directed by veteran Edward Sedgwick, was called one solid riot of laughsRowdy and hoodlum fun (The New York American).
