Buster's The Navigator was set aboard an ocean liner that was adrift on the ocean. The movie is hilarious. "...it isn't easy to be laughable for six thousand feet of film."

Several theaters in the mid-west promoted The Navigator by having young ladies in sailor suits hand out rolls of Life Savers candy.

Loew's Montreal promoted the film with a ship in the lobby and the staff dressed in naval uniforms. I like the caricature of Buster in the circles.
