ТЮРЕМНАЯ ПРИМАНКА
Режиссер: Китон, Бастер Актеры: Б.Китон JAIL BAIT ТЮРЕМНАЯ ПРИМАНКА США 1937 20 мин. ч/б АУДИО: АНГЛИЙСКИЙ ПЕРЕВОДА НА РУССКИЙ НЕТ! реж. Чарльз Ламон в ролях: Бастер Китон, Харольд Гудвин, Бад Джемисон, Бетти Андре криминальная комедия Полиция озабочена случаем похищения и убийства, и у них нет никаких улик. Репортер убежден, что убийство было совершено известным преступником Коротышкой Мэдисоном. Репортер просит соседа по квартире, курьера его газеты (Б.Китон), признаться в убийстве, чтобы отвлечь внимание полиции, и тем самым дать ему возможность самому поймать преступника. Курьер соглашается с этим планом, но он срабатывает не так, как они надеялись… *This* is what Buster Keaton should have been doing, in those big-budget years at MGM. This is a thoroughly attractive little comedy, the equal of many of his silent shorts of the 1920s. The storyline is plausible, ingenious, satisfying and yet bizarre. The set-piece jokes are good ones, often classics to rival any of his earlier work, as in the sequence when he does his best to get arrested, or the scene where he enters the cell as possibly the least escape-prone prisoner in history! His physical gifts are displayed to good advantage, with the pratfalls of the MGM years all but forgotten in favour of gags that actually advance the plot -- "Jail Bait" is no masterpiece, deprived of any chance at beauty by its inescapable financial constraints, but it shares almost all the ingredients of Keaton's best work. And quite simply, it's very funny; the old magic strikes again. More than that -- by and large it's "right", in a way that Keaton films had once always been right: everything fits. It's clever, it's good, and it's authentic Buster, as effective as ever... what more can one ask? http://www.kinopoint.ru/film/index_2179.html
