Love has never been funnier or more difficult to manage than in the immortal Keaton comedies. Seven Chances is a film often imitated but never rivaled for hilarity and visual virtuosity. Keaton stars as Jimmie Shannon, a romantically jinxed young man who must marry by 7:00 PM to inherit seven million dollars. While fate seems to thwart his efforts to woo the object of his true affection (Ruth Dwyer), public announcement of his strange predicament provides him with a throng of would-be brides who are aggressive in their pursuit of a husband, to say the least. In one of the most rousing, brilliantly choreographed sequences in Keaton's career, Shannon flees the horde of women while dodging the hostile forces of nature that seem to be conspiring against him (in the form of a colossal rockslide) during his manic dash to the altar. This beautiful new HD transfer has been mastered from an original 35mm nitrate print from the Library of Congress. First time ever on Blu-ray!!!
Fun fact: Seven Chances was remade by New Line Cinema as The Bachelor and starred Chris O'Donnell & Rene Zellweger!
James apprend qu’il est l’unique héritier d’une colossale fortune, sous une condition impérative : il doit être marié avant le jour de ses 27 ans à 19 heures. Paniqué, le jeune homme a désormais en tout et pour tout un jour pour trouver une épouse. Il a bien une petite idée concernant l’heureuse élue, mais devant les raisons si peu flatteuses de sa demande, sa bien-aimée refuse sa proposition…
