SEVEN CHANCES
U.S., 1925
Directed by Buster Keaton
Starring Buster Keaton
DCP. Approx. 56 min.

Buster learns he’ll inherit 7 million dollars by 7 o’clock that night - provided he’s married! The resulting proposal orgy -- to, among others, a kilted Scotsman and famed female impersonator Julian Eltinge -- leads to an incredible chase by 500 (count ‘em) bridal-veiled women, topped by a boulder-strewn climax.

HARD LUCK
(1921) Buster decides to end it all in his own favorite two-reeler; the long lost missing gag ending, which Buster claimed got the biggest laugh of any of his films, was miraculously rediscovered by Lobster Films, making the film complete for the first time in nearly 100 years. Approx. 22 min. Restored by Lobster Films.
