help Our Hospitality FAQ
What family feud is Our Hospitality parodying?
Our Hospitality uses the Canfield-McKay feud, a comic version of the Hatfield-McCoy style family vendetta. Buster Keaton plays Willie McKay, who returns south without understanding how dangerous his family name is.
Why is the train sequence in Our Hospitality famous?
The early train sequence lovingly recreates primitive 19th-century rail travel with tiny cars, awkward tracks, and slow mechanical movement. It is one of the 1923 film's most detailed period-comedy set pieces.
Who stars with Buster Keaton in Our Hospitality?
Natalie Talmadge, Keaton's wife at the time, plays Virginia Canfield. Joe Roberts also appears as one of the Canfield men, in one of his last screen roles.
Does Our Hospitality have the kind of dangerous stunt work Keaton is known for?
Yes. The waterfall rescue near the end is one of Keaton's major silent-era stunt sequences, combining comedy timing with real physical risk.
