Flavored with Americana and loaded with cinematic inventiveness, "Steamboat Bill, Jr." was Buster Keaton's final independent production, a comic masterpiece. Set on the Mississippi River, the film follows the adventures of a spoiled young man who is forced by his crusty father (Ernest Torrence) to learn riverboating.
