The lowdown
Seven Chances (1925) Accompanied by the acclaimed Mauro Colombis.
“Beloved Buster presents a dazzlingly comedy in which he has a matter of hours to acquire the wife on which a seven million dollar inheritance depends. A newspaper announcement provides him with more fiancées than he can handle, setting in motion the most epic and surreal chase sequence of his career.
From such a leisurely start, the film takes off into a fantastically elaborate, gloriously inventive chase sequence, in which Buster escapes the mob of pursuing would-be brides only to find an escalating avalanche of rocks taking over at his heels as he hurtles downhill.
As always, the audience is mesmerised by physical comedy pushing the boundaries, incredible stunts and elevated gagwork. To the critics, an absolute masterpiece!”
Preceding the feature will be a superb Harold Lloyd comedy short, Never Weaken (1921).
Lloyd, one of the Kings of Comedy with Chaplin and Keaton, plays the misguided hero who is infatuated with a girl in the next office. Alas, he hears that his girl is marrying another, and thus he decides to end his life in multiple failed attempts increasing the comic and thrill entertainment temperature for audiences worldwide.
