PRODUCT INFORMATION
Seven Chances and Sherlock Jr. are two dazzling comedies that showcase Buster Keaton’s genius for super-sized slapstick. Presented in new restorations by the Blackhawk Films Collection, these masterpieces have never looked better. Seven Chances tells the story of an eligible young bachelor who must marry by 7:00 p.m. in order to receive a $7 million inheritance. A newspaper announcement provides him with more fiancées than he can handle, setting in motion the most epic and surreal chase sequence of Keaton’s career. Sherlock Jr. is a brilliant deconstruction of the filmmaking process. Keaton stars as a movie theatre projectionist who dreams of becoming a super-sleuth, and, in one breathtaking sequence, literally steps into the screen to bring his fantasies to life.

Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
