One Week [Blu-ray]
$53.99
A movie recounting a newly diagnosed cancer, with a new timeframe for Ben's lifespan. What transpires is what some find irresponsible, or selfish. However to Ben it gives his life the meaning whose discovery, up until now, he has been postponing.

I watched it once, and the let my teen watch it with me the second time. It has a 'Into the Wild" movie flavor to it.

When Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle voluntarily left his Comique Studio for PARAMOUNT and a multi-feature deal, producer Joe Schenck renamed Comique 'Buster Keaton Studio.' Although "One Week" was his first release, it was actually Keaton's second completed short.

This fast-moving comedy has newly-married Buster assembling a pre-fab house from boxes that have all been maliciously misnumbered by his bride's ex-boyfriend. The result is a misshapen disaster with not a straight line to be seen anywhere. A door hangs where a second floor window should be, the kitchen sink is on an outside wall, and so on.

Despite their home's bizarre appearance, the young couple invite dinner guests; when a windstorm hits, things get pretty crazy. The film's famous closing sequence has Keaton hauling the house to a new site and it gets stuck on a train track.


This short plus many more are available at a bargain price on ST. CLAIR's 3 disc set, BEST OF BUSTER KEATON. Also includes "The General," several talking pictures and some extras.
