Our Hospitality
Our Hospitality, directed by and starring Buster Keaton, was Keaton’s second feature, released in 1923. The film provides a comic view of the notorious blood feud between the two Southern families of Hatfield and McCoy, during the late 1800s. The Hatfields of the film are portrayed as the Canfield family, whose daughter Virginia gains the affections of Keaton’s character, young Willie McKay, who is returning from New York to claim his father’s estate. The film follows Willie’s attempts at wooing Virginia, and his eventual discovery of her identity as a Canfield. |
