The Navigator
Buster Keaton stars in this silent film that was released on October 13, 1924. Most of the movie was made on or around California's Santa Catalina Island. A wealthy young man proposes marriage and a honeymoon cruise to a wealthy young woman. When she turns him down, he decides to go on the cruise anyway. Of course, he ends up on the wrong ocean liner – a ship with no one on it. And since this is a movie, the young woman somehow ends up on the same ship.
The movie was a hit all over.
