Our Hospitality


 

Our Hospitality is a silent comedy directed, produced, written by and starring Buster Keaton. Released in 1923 by Metro Pictures Corporation, the movie uses slapstick and situational comedy to tell the story of Willie McKay, a city slicker who journeys to the country to collect an inheritance; while there, he gets caught in the middle of the infamous Canfield & McKay feud, an obvious satire of the real-life Hatfield & McCoy feud. The title refers to a fictionalized version of the Southern code of hospitality: the Canfields want to kill Willie McKay, but are forbidden to harm him as long as he is in their house. Learning this, McKay decides to never leave the house.
