Elmer is a dry cleaner. He is madly in love with stage star Trilby Drew; for each of her 35 performances, he dons someone else's tuxedo and races to the theatre. When Trilby's co-star boyfriend gets engaged to a socialite, she marries Elmer to get even, assuming Elmer is a millionaire (since his clothes are so snazzy.) But she's clearly still in love with her scoundrelous co-star, and her manager makes her leave Elmer, trying to pay him off so the papers don't hear about her marriage to a "cheap pants presser." Can Elmer win her love? Maybe a sea voyage will help.

| Time OutJohn CollisPart of the plot harks back to The Navigator, but three of the sequences put the film up in Division One, crowning a decade of unparalleled creativity which was then stifled by studio inflexibility. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashThe Great Stone Face may have made better films, but even this lesser effort still contains some comic gems. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. PuccioThis was Keaton's last silent movie, and as such it marked the end of an era for one of the silent-screen's most notable stars. |
| The SpectatorClancy SigelThere's still enough inspired joy in this old film to make most current comedies look feebly unoriginal. |
| User ReviewKristen SKeaton's last Silent feature but one of his best |
| User ReviewBevan CAfter watching this comedy, I can see how Jackie Chan was heavily influenced by him. A great, unexpected film. You know it's going to end happily, but the journey getting there was pretty fun! |
| User ReviewAntonius BKeaton is hilarious as always in this movie. If you're a fan of his, you'll love it. |
| User ReviewJosh GThis was the first Keaton film I watched on TCM. I really liked it - its really funny. I really like the part, where Keaton was trying to put the girl on the bed. It was really good, this scene was also in Keaton's early movie - The Navigator. Overall, the movie was good. But comparing to his previous movies and shorts, it was not the best one. |
| User ReviewKevin NIt's a solid enough silent comedy, but it doesn't compare to some of his other work. Genuinely funny in parts, though, and it features Keaton's own yacht. |
| User ReviewHunter DWhile it's a funny gag-filled Keaton comedy, this is where you can really see MGM starting to tighten their grip on Keaton's creative freedom. The gags are less daring, and while I was smiling and chuckling a bit, I never busted a gut like I did while watching 'The Cameraman'. His best work was behind him at this point. |
