"Effete student arrives home in the middle of a power struggle between his steamboat captain father and competitor J.J. King who is trying, with his more modern river packet, to drive Steamboat Bill out of business in River Junction. The son wins the decisive race, and the hand of the rival's daughter."
"Flavored with Americana and loaded with cinematic inventiveness, Steamboat Bill Jr. was Buster Keaton's final independent production before joining MGM (where his work suffered a steady decline in quality), a comic masterpiece that represents the full breadth of its maker's remarkable talents. Set on the Mississippi River in the old sidewheeler days, Steamboat Bill Jr. follows the adventures of a spoiled young man who is forced by his crusty father (Ernest Torrence) to learn the ropes of riverboating. Over the course of the narrative, the scale of comedy gradually expands, from small-scale, nostalgic humor (as when Bill Sr. outfits his son with a new wardrobe) to some of the most elaborate sight gags of Keaton's career. Junior's attempts to single-handedly pilot the rag-tag "Stonewall Jackson" recall the mechanical brilliance of The general and The navigator, but the film's crowning achievement is its hurricane climax. Highlighted by remarkable special effects (including the destruction of full-sized sturctures), it includes the legendary stunt in which the front of a building collapses over Junior, who passes unharmed through an open window."@en
"The "milquetoast" son of a burly riverboat captain must prove his worth by taking over his father's old Mississippi steamboat and in the process he falls in love with the daughter of his rival. Then combining gallows humor with rapid-fire slapstick, Keaton struggles for survival within (and escape from) prison walls. Attempting to establish himself in a series of professions from veterinary assistant to street-sweeper to actor-- Keaton ends up pursued by a herd of New York City "bulls." (Buster Keaton Productions / United Artists, 1920-1928)."@en
"Rivalité entre un modeste capitaine de bateau à vapeur et King, le banquier riche qui veut s'accaparer le monopole du trafic portuaire. Le capitaine pauvre compte sur son fils pour le défendre mais celui-ci se présente en jeune collégien dandy. Un cyclone inattendu rétabliera la justice. Avec Buster Keaton et Ernest Torrence."

"An effete student arrives home in the middle of a power struggle between his steamboat captain father and a competitor. His father's business competitor, J.J. King with his modernized river packet, is trying to drive Steamboat Bill out of River Junction. In the course of the film, Keaton wins both the decisive boat race, and the hand of the daughter of his rival. Buster Keaton's comic timing is once again impeccable; the film contains the famous sequence where a house lifted into the sky by a cyclone lands on top of him. All the forces of nature are arrayed against Keaton in this film, yet he merely dances around them, surviving all disasters. The director Luis Bunuel said of Buster Keaton: "Buster's face is as unassuming as a bottle, although his clear round pupils reflect his aseptic soul....Can greater heights of cinematic virtue be reached?""@en
