Last post by M.10rda - Today at 10:49:15 AMCONEY ISLAND (1917):
Two years after the essentially similar FATTY & MABEL/SAN DIEGO EXHIBITION short, w/d/s Roscoe Arbuckle has clearly figured out some new tricks. The plot is again meaningless and merely an excuse to visit a scenic location and clown around/chase girls/get in trouble, but the clowning and the trouble are far more inventive and interesting, at least in the second half or so when things have finally developed a full head of steam. Arbuckle and Buster Keaton individually and jointly pursue, hook up with, and then lose a couple dames, and in the process wreak a lot of havoc involving stunts of impressive agility. The "impressive agility" is especially true on Roscoe's part, as he is, inescapably, a big dude and yet does backflips and pratfalls and nimble dances. So does Buster, but Buster is a skinny guy - yet (as with most other Arbuckle/Keaton movies) the Letterboxd reviews are almost unanimously biased towards "Buster is a genius and Fatty is a talentless idiot". I dunno - I'm not as rotund as Roscoe and I sure can't do the moves he does, and even if you're as physically fit as Buster, I bet you can't do Roscoe's moves, either.
More to that point, CONEY ISLAND culminates in a jail cell with Roscoe whackin' one cop (over the head) after another - until the cell is full of a literal pile of unconscious (or dead) cop bodies. Keaton made his own short COPS five years later and it too is pretty impressive - but it doesn't treat the viewer to a four-to-five foot high pile of cop bodies. Advantage: Arbuckle. 3.5/5
