Our Hospitality

Our Hospitality is a silent comedy directed by and starring Buster Keaton. Released in 1923 by Metro Pictures Corporation, the movie uses slapstick and situational comedy to tell the story of Willie McKay, who gets caught in the middle of the infamous CanfieldMcKay feud, an obvious satire of the reallife HatfieldMcCoy feud.

Twenty years later, Willie Buster Keaton Sr. receives a letter informing him that his fathers estate is now his. His aunt tells him of the feud, but he decides to return to his Southern birthplace anyway to claim his inheritance.On the train ride, he meets a girl, Virginia played by Keatons wife Natalie Talmadge. They are shy to each other at first, but become acquainted during many train mishaps. At their destination, she is greeted by her father and two brothers she, it turns out, is a Canfield. Willie innocently asks one of the brothers where the McKay estate is. The brother offers to show him the way but stops at every shop in search of a pistol to shoot the unsuspecting Willie. By the time he obtains one, Willie has wandered off. Willie is very disappointed to discover the McKay estate is a rundown home, not the stately mansion he had imagined. Later, however, he encounters Virginia, who invites him to supper. ........
