Played like an exciting action movie with funny bits thrown in throughout. Watching Keaton's deadpan expressions in response to Annabelle's good-hearted but silly actions was hilarious. In several scenes, he didn't warn other actors what was about to happen so their responses were real.

Perhaps the funniest scene took place on the train as Johnnie fled back south. He's driving and asks Annabelle to put wood in the burner. First she throws a huge log off the train instead of into the burner because it has a hole in it. Then she picks up a stick about the size of a paint stirrer and throws that in and closes the door. Johnnie stares at her, then reaches down and picks up a stick about the size of a pencil and hands it to her. She takes it, opens the door and throws it in, then closes the door while Johnnie looks on in deadpan astonishment. He fakes like he's choking her, then he kisses her.
