This film is one of the silent era's best slapstick comedies about undergraduate college life. Fast-paced and action-packed, College shows off silent film star Buster Keaton's physical talents as he plays a brainy freshman who falls (literally) for a real beauty. However, when her heart is stolen by a handsome athlete, Keaton closes his books and takes to the field for some hilarious athletic action. He is trampled by baseball players, nearly scalps the dean with a discus, and barely makes 3 feet in the high jump, but he still manages to find a way into the young woman's heart.
