Go West**
US 1925. Metro-Goldwyn. 70m. bw. silentAn incompetent drifter can't cope with city life and tries his hand at being a cattle rancher.
Typically quirky and inventive Keaton spoof on the Western genre, with an opening reel that echoes Chaplin-style sentiment (but lacking the Tramp's pathos), quickly dispensed towards a touching bovine romance and a rollicking finale with the cattle wandering through the city as if like idle children.
