Product Description

Buster Keaton goes back to school and stages a hilarious send-up of university life in College. Keaton stars as Ronald, an idealistic freshman who attends Clayton College in pursuit of higher learning, but finds himself instead embroiled in a war of athletics as he fights for the heart of his beloved coed, Mary (Anne Cornwall). More than he had in any other feature, Keaton stretched the boundaries of solo physical comedy. In a series of unforgettable vignettes, stone-faced Ronald tries his hand as a baseball player, soda jerk, waiter, coxswain, and track star, performing each task with a steady determination but with consistently disastrous results. These scenes are especially amazing because in demonstrating Ronald's athletic inadequacies, Keaton reveals a surprising degree of physical prowess and finesse, particularly during the film's exhilarating climax.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keaton for the sports fan
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2013

College may not be Keaton's best, but it's still Keaton AT his best, if that makes any sense. The story is very simple and is clearly just there to hang gags on. But what gags! Many of them are sports gags (baseball, track and field, etc.) and Buster was clearly having a great time with them. The Blu-ray looks very good and is noticeably better than the DVD though it's not as nice as The General or some other silents out there. Given how old the film is, and the overall history of Hollywood and its film prints, it's understandable. But College has never looked as good as this on home video, and I have it in every incarnation all the way back to a VHS bootleg in the late 80's. I wish there was an alternate score with organ. I don't know why, but I prefer Keaton with organ scores. Maybe it's from seeing his films so many times in Los Angeles at the Silent Theater in the 90's with organ accompaniment. Still, this disc is highly recommended.

Silent films from artists like Keaton and Chaplin seem to be a lost genre, but should be appreciated by every generation. While not his best film, it is still a lot of fun to experience.

…but worth a look anyway. The image is good (either not as scratchy or better restored than some films have been) but I just didn't get as much "fun" or "action" out of this one. The locations visual essay extra is worthwhile (some of the settings still exist, still accessible). Buster's last filmed performance "The Scribe" seemed to be a Canadian "safety" film from 1966… in color, it had it's moments but wasn't my favorite film, it's actually scratchier than the feature film.

Buster Keaton is one of the funniest men that has ever lived. His physical comedy has been imitated by everyone from Bugs Bunny to Jackie Chan. He was unforgettable!

4.0 out of 5 stars Buster Keaton Wins the Day
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2013

The new Blu-Ray version of "College" from Kino will please any Buster Keaton fan and most others too. The story finds Buster as a smart high school grad with difficulties fitting in with the popular crowd. He follows his sweetheart to college and has to compete with the "big man on campus" for the attention of his high school sweetheart, the very attractive Anne Cornwall. Buster's attempts to fit in at college and with the popular crowd are thwarted in some very funny ways. Buster tries to hold a job as a "soda- jerk" at the local ice cream parlor but fails in funny fashion.Later he tries to impress the girl by being a college baseball player but fails at that too. Then it's on to track and field where he tries to emulate other teammates in all the events of the day(1920's). These include some field events that are no longer used. All of this leads to some very funny bits and eventual failure. He finally becomes the hero of the day as the coxwain for the rowing crew. Of course he finally defeats his rival, wins the hand of his beloved and all ends happily.
Many of the college scenes were shot on the campus of the Univ.of Southern California and in the Los Angeles Memorial
Coleseum built for the Olympics.Over-all a very funny film.
The only down-side is the unfortunate use of some "black-face" comedy scenes in which Buster tries to work in a restaurant as a waiter with disasterous results.
The disc includes a nice addition of John Bengtson's "Silent Echoes" in which he traces Buster's actual locations in the film through historical photos he has researched.
The disc also includes a short film that is believed to be Keation's last filmed performance. It's an industrial film promoting saftey at construction sites. It's a sad end to a remarkable career as one of film's greatest comic actors.
On the down-side, I could not get the disc's audio comentary by Rob Farr to operate. It may be a problem with the disc that I will investigate further. The musical setting by John Muri, though-out the film, was adequate.
Over-all, I give it four-stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Testifies to the Keaton genius
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2003

So 'College' is not the VERY best of the bunch. So what? Buster Keaton was and is the greatest and 'College' certainly testifies to his genius and was maybe the last feature that ever did. The venue, a college campus complete with jocks, nerds, cheerleaders, sympathetic headmasters (!) and bossy athletics coaches, is a source and vehicle of typical Keaton versatility, although you might feel that the most brilliant of jokes are a little far between.
Keaton creatures a psychologically well-rounded portrayal (and who would have thought?) of the bookish young man trying out for athletic fame to win the heart of a pretty girl. He is virtuosic in his physical comedy and really heartwrenching in his stonefaced martyrdom. Keaton is one screen persona though who, ultimately, will not let anybody override him, and he bounces back with a vengeance. The last half-hour of 'College' is vintage Keaton. You'll enjoy it, and you will savour the meticulous transfer on this DVD.
