I wonder to what extent the version of Daydreams that can be found today is actually still what Buster Keaton had in mind at the time. A large part of the short film has been lost and on the basis of photos and new intertitles an attempt is made to form it all into a beautiful whole. So a bit of cutting and pasting and you can feel it. The premise with Keaton doing all kinds of jobs is very nice (and there's a very nice large-scale police chase and Keaton in the theater is also very cool) but it doesn't really all flow together smoothly. Practically every version that can be found has a running time of around 22 minutes, although a scene with Keaton as a policeman seems to have been found and it would have been added as an extra on a Kino DVD. Hopefully the full version will also float to the surface, maybe it will feel like a better whole. Just for Keaton in the waterwheel this is worth seeing by the way.

3.5*

Very funny how Keaton takes all kinds of jobs that are far below what he writes his sweetheart.

He should not worry about one thing afterwards: the gun is supplied to him free and willingly.

Good Keaton comedy where when I saw yet another army of policemen in pursuit, I thought for a moment that candidate extras were given enough opportunities to play that role again in the many comedies...
