{"product_id":"0842614101489","title":"Parlor, Bedroom And Bath","description":"Based on the stage comedy by Charles W. Bell and Mark Swan (previously filmed in 1920), \u003ci\u003eParlor, Bedroom and Bath\u003c\/i\u003e is a curious mixture of all that was good and everything that was bad in {|Buster Keaton|}'s talkie features. Keaton plays Reginald Irving, a dimwitted bill-poster who finds himself the pawn in a scheme cooked up by wealthy Jeffrey Haywood ({|Reginald Denny|}). It seems that Jeffrey will not be permitted to marry Virginia Embrey ({|Sally Eilers|}) until a suitable husband is found for Virginia's older sister Angelica ({|Dorothy Christy|}). Since Angelica has rejected all the available suitors, Jeffrey schemes to offer Reginald as an eligible mate. First, however, he has to transform our dopey hero into a gentleman -- \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e a great lover. Somehow or other, poor Reginald innocently ends up in a compromising situation involving vampish Polly Hathaway ({|Charlotte Greenwood|}) and the very married Nita Leslie ({|Joan Peers|}) at a posh no-tell hotel. Keaton is permitted a few choice pantomimic moments in \u003ci\u003eParlor Bedroom and Bath\u003c\/i\u003e, notably his scenes with the aggressive Charlotte Greenwood and a spectacular sight gag \"borrowed\" from his 1920 silent classic \u003ci\u003eOne Week\u003c\/i\u003e. On the whole, however, Keaton is lost in a sea of unfunny dialogue and tired farcical situations -- a not untypical pitfall of his MGM talkies. (Incidentally, that baronial \"upstate New York\" mansion in the film's early scenes was actually Buster Keaton's Beverly Hills home.)","brand":"GRAPEVINE VIDEO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47092437516528,"sku":"0842614101489","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0842614101489_p0.jpg?v=1763529289","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0842614101489","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
