Thanx so much for sharing! For those who don't know about this beautiful, brilliant man . . . Buster Keaton. Née Joseph Francis Keaton IV. ('Buster' was a nickname given to him, after a tumble down a flight of stairs when he was only six months old. When he fell, everyone ran to help. Buster landed at the bottom of the stairs, shook his head, and sat up, miraculously unhurt, and a family friend, Harry Houdini [Yes. That Houdini], the Keaton's partner in The Keaton-Houdini Medicine Show, said, "That was sure a buster!" Back then, 'buster' meant a fall, or a bronco buster. It was not used as a name. Buster's dad said that 'Buster' would be a good thing to call his son, and the nickname stuck. When the four of them went into Vaudeville, Houdini became a solo act, and Buster and his mom and dad became The Three Keatons.) What a Man. He could do it All. And did! No CGI. What you saw was All Buster. So athletic. Wrote. Directed. Produced. Acted. Comedy. Drama. Composed, played, and sang. Danced, too. Conceived and executed stunts. Designed and built machines and props for gags. The famous watertower torrent broke his neck! ('Sherlock Jr.' --- Buster didn't account for such water pressure And he didn't know he'd broken his neck 'til, I think he said it was 13, years later at a routine exam when his doctor asked him when he broke his neck. Buster thought back and said he'd been knocked down hard by falling water, and hit his head on the train rail, and asked if that could be when it happened. The doctor told him it probably was.) And, oh, that well-known falling housefront bit! ('Steamboat Bill Jr.' --- He only had about a 2" clearance in that window frame. And the housefront weighed 1500 lbs.) The rocks and boulders he's often seen running from ('Seven Chances') may not have been real rocks, but those papier-maché props weighed up to 400 lbs. Quite impressive! The Great Stone Face. (Buster found out during his time in Vaudeville with his parents, that if he laughed during a bit, the audience didn't, so he trained himself to keep a straight face all the time.) The Greatest of All Time! A really Great guy. The true Iron Man: broke most every bone in his body, and kept going. And . . . He had pinpoint accuracy with a custard pie at 27 feet, even in his later years! RIP, darling Buster, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories. (Yes. I absolutely adore Buster Keaton. For 70+ years now.)

Thank you so much for sharing! You´re right, there´s not many sound movies of Buster around,and it´s a shame. I´ve seen some, and they´re not as bad as critics said. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed a lot; it was great fun! I wish I could see this short, seems so funny too! Thank you so much, again!

The name Hedley Lamar - Mel Brooks used it in "Blazing Saddles" - Brooks always said he was influenced by Buster!

Buster keaton le génie aurait pu faire de bon film parlant car ça voi portait très bien . Mais il y a eux des tas problèmes et a été contraint a tourné des films avec de très mauvais scénarios plus ces problèmes personnels . Par contre dans certains films ou ont la laisser travailler par apport a son génie même si sur un temps tres court ont voi que ces de la pate keatoniene . Buster éternel et intemporel et universel .
