Our Hospitality (1923)

In the haunting shadows of a deep-seated feud between the McKays and the Canfields, akin to the real-life Hatfields and McCoys, the tragic tale of Our Hospitality unfolds. The saga begins with the death of John McKay, claimed by the relentless feud, leaving his wife to escape with their infant son, Willie, to the bustling streets of New York. Her fervent wish: to shield him from the echoes of the family quarrel. Fast forward two decades to the 1830s, where Willie McKay, now a grown man untouched by the specter of the feud, receives a missive of inheritance. His father's estate beckons him back to his family roots in Kentucky, a journey that leads him to board a detailed replica of the historic "Stephenson Rocket" train. On this serendipitous journey, he crosses paths with the captivating Virginia Canfield, unaware of her identity tied to the rival family. As love blossoms amidst the intricate tapestry of their shared history, Willie finds himself accepting a dinner invitation at the Canfield residence. The age-old hospitality code of the Canfields becomes his shield, protecting him from harm within their walls. But Willie's plan to exploit this tradition for his safety is short-lived, and he soon finds himself in the crosshairs of the Canfield men. Our Hospitality is a riveting costume-period piece that weaves romance, humor, and danger into a compelling narrative of a man caught in the web of inherited enmity. As Willie navigates this volatile world, he must tread a path fraught with peril, yet paved with the promise of love.

Our Hospitality is a comedy movie featuring Buster Keaton and directed by John G. Blystone.
