Seven Chances- A 1925 Buster Keaton Film




With time running out, Jimmie embarks on a frantic search for a bride, going through a hilarious list of seven potential candidates. His attempts at wooing them get progressively more chaotic and disastrous, involving everything from runaway buses to unexpected avalanches.

The film culminates in a legendary chase sequence, where Jimmie is pursued by hundreds of marriageable women through the streets.
