What! No Beer?
Two of comedyâs greatest masters â Buster Keaton and Jimmy Durante â 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 lifeâs savings on a brewery. Determined to be first, they start making beer before Prohibition is actually over. That makes their âcompetitionâ bootlegging thugs â something they didnât count on! Then, Buster falls for one of the gangsterâs molls, the cops get into the act, and Keaton and Durante have to figure out how to get out of the beer business before theyâre done in! From a story by Robert E. Hopkins (Anita Looâs screenwriting partner on San Francisco), this timely farce, directed by veteran Edward Sedgwick, was called âone solid riot of laughsâ¦Rowdy and hoodlum funâ (The New York American).
