One of his most-successful comedies, Seven Chances (1925) features Buster Keaton as a man who must be married in order to inherit a large fortune. Unfortunately, several ‘first choices’ turn him down flatly. Seemingly hopeless, Buster’s misfortune gets worse as a newspaper story about his inheritance produces a flood of would-be brides.
The film’s story was the basis of the limp Renée Zellweger comedy, The Bachelor (1999). Carl Bennett
