It is the second film Keaton made for MGM and his last silent film, although he had wanted it to be a "talkie" or full sound film. While the production has no recorded dialogue, it does feature an accompanying synchronized score and recorded laughter, applause, and other sound effects. Keaton later wrote gags for some up-and-coming MGM stars like Red Skelton, and recycled many gags from Spite Marriage, some shot-for-shot, for Skelton's 1943 film I Dood It. ## Credits - **Director:** [Buster Keaton](https://cinepixo.com/people/buster-keaton), [Edward Sedgwick](https://cinepixo.com/people/edward-sedgwick) - **Producer:** [Buster Keaton](https://cinepixo.com/people/buster-keaton), [Edward Sedgwick](https://cinepixo.com/people/edward-sedgwick) - **Screenplay:** [Richard Schayer](https://cinepixo.com/people/richard-schayer), [Ernest Pagano](https://cinepixo.com/people/ernest-pagano) - **Editor:** [Frank Sullivan](https://cinepixo.com/people/frank-sullivan) ## Cast - [Charles Sullivan](https://cinepixo.com/people/charles-sullivan) - [Edward Earle](https://cinepixo.com/people/edward-earle) - [Buster Keaton](https://cinepixo.com/people/buster-keaton) - [Edward Brophy](https://cinepixo.com/people/edward-brophy) - [Hank Mann](https://cinepixo.com/people/hank-mann) - [Jack Byron](https://cinepixo.com/people/jack-byron) - [Dorothy Sebastian](https://cinepixo.com/people/dorothy-sebastian) - [Joe Bordeaux](https://cinepixo.com/people/joe-bordeaux) - [Leila Hyams](https://cinepixo.com/people/leila-hyams) - [William Bechtel](https://cinepixo.com/people/william-bechtel) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
