The Lightning
Yes, you all know what I'm talking about. The awful lightning in the movie. Now, I am a huge Buster Keaton fan, and I rank this movie among the greatest ever made. BUT, what's up with that lightning?
In the Navigator, which was made earlier in his career, they had a MUCH more realistic lightning effect. Does anybody know why they did the lightning the way they did? Was that method new at the time and they wanted to show it off or something?
