About Our Hospitality (1923)
Our Hospitality is a 1923 American silent period comedy film directed by Buster Keaton and John G. Blystone. Keaton stars as a young man who returns to his family home only to find himself embroiled in a generations-long family feud based on the real–life Hatfield–McCoy feud.
The Canfield and McKay families have been feuding for so long, no one remembers why the feud started in the first place. One stormy night in 1810, family patriarch John McKay and his rival James Canfield kill each other. After the tragic death of her husband, John's wife decides her son Willie will not suffer the same fate. She moves to New York to live with her sister, who after the mother's death raises him without telling him of the feud. Twenty years later, Willie receives a letter informing him that his father's estate is now his.
