"Spite Marriage" was the final film of any quality from comedian Buster Keaton. His decline would soon be solidified by the rubbish with which he was lumbered. Even so, "Spite Marriage" has some very good scenes. The scene involving the ruining of the theatre production about the American Civil War by Buster is very funny. The front office at "M.G.M" were unhappy about their new star performing any more dangerous stunts. The scene where he is hoisted at the top of the mast on that pleasure boat, was the last stunt as far as the studio were concerned. "Spite Marriage" is technically a silent picture but there are some sound effects included. A very good film overall.
