#47. 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die -- Seven Chances (547/1001)


Watched the Buster Keaton film Seven Chances today. This is the 547th film out of the 1001 in the book that I have seen.

The film is about a man who finds out his grandfather has left him 7 million dollars, but only if he is married by 7 pm on his 27th birthday. Seems like a good deal; however, there is a slight problem. Today is his 27th birthday! He rushes to ask the woman he loves to marry him, but due to a misunderstanding, she refuses. Even though he is heartbroken and does not want to, his business partner begs him to marry someone, so thus begins his search for a bride. There are lots of great sight gags, a hilarious chase scene, and of course, a happy ending. This may be my favorite Keaton film, and I highly recommend it.
