Sinopses(1)

The first film to be directed and released by Buster Keaton, One Week is the slapstick 1920 blockbuster about a newlywed couple who is given a portable, do-it-yourself home that takes just a week to put together. Unbeknownst to Keaton, his new wife's (Sybil Seely) former suitor has rearranged the numbers on the crates of building materials. In one week Buster and Sybil have a new house, but the front door is on the second floor, and the walls and roof are out of whack. Even worse, a storm sends the house spinning onto a pair of railroad tracks, and a train is headed right for them! (Echo Bridge Entertainment)

inglês Building a house in the course of just one week with the skill and elan of Pat and Mat, or never plan a house-warming party on Friday 13th. Mistakes can be found here, but who cares? It’s not often you get to see such beautiful and ingeniously layered gags. Better sequences can definitely be found in Keaton’s other movie escapades. But as a whole, One Week is balanced better. And more than one gag was ahead of its time. For instance the “censored" soap retrieving scene. ()
