Three Ages

Inspired by D.W. Griffith's INTOLERANCE, Buster made this hilarious comedy in which two young men compete for the same girl in different epochs: the stone age, ancient Rome, and America during prohibition. Life the Griffith film, each story cuts parallel to the others to climax in a common end.

The film contains one of the earliest and most brilliant of Keaton's great climactic comic trajectories. He performs an astonishin descent down the many stories of a large apartment building to arrive on a moving fire engine below).
