This is what I know. It is not 100% complete, maybe 90%. Some scenes are damaged beyond repair, mostly nearing the end. I'm afraid that those parts are lost. The majority of the work negatives and the distribution copies of the 40's and 50's were destroyed once the rights lapsed into the public domain. The archived originals are damaged - lost. This copy comes from an old 2" Ampex video tape - a recorded transcription from a 16mm film used for TV / Video Distribution - done in the early 70's using a telecine. The reel was an edited composite of diverse surviving positives.

@@silverscreenfilmotheque9071 Wow, I'm impressed! Someone that has researched the provenance of these works! Most people just rip a copy of a film, and I am indebted to them as well. But kudos to you for sharing the history of this nascent art work!
I have a book on Buster Keaton movies and it said the ending to this comedy was lost, but described how it was supposed to end. They must have found some footage from another source that had the ending and included it here. In the book it said that ending when he came out of the hole with the Chinese family got the biggest laugh in the whole film.
Buster invented and also performed ALL of those gags and stunts himself without getting himself killed. Amazing man, and brilliant. Sadly, in real life he was also tragic.
Another amazing stunt. Breaking it down frame by frame. You can see water splash when he hits. Fake bricks over water. Still would have hurt, I'm sure. Very believable!
It was not surprising since he had been doing stunt work from childhood and much of his movies included strenuous stunt work. I would not be surprised if under the tramp's baggy clothes, Charlie Chaplin was just as well built.

@@silverscreenfilmotheque9071 Thank you for the information and channel. One thing I noticed with all these early comedians is they were all short men, that probably played better into comedy skits.
그는 여전히 찰리 채플린과 해럴드 로이드와 함께 무성 영화 시대의 3대 선구자 중 한 명으로 여겨집니다. 원래 그는 자신의 영화를 감독하고 아이디어를 내며 즉흥적으로 연기할 수 있었습니다. 그러나 주요 스튜디오와 계약한 후에는 그런 활동이 금지되었습니다. 안타까운 점은, 그가 그런 결정을 내리지 않았더라면 찰리 채플린과 해럴드 로이드 같은 동시대의 다른 배우들보다 유성 영화에 훨씬 더 잘 적응할 수 있었을 것이라는 점입니다.
Even funny today and a very fit looking man, those are cyclist legs, bet he rode a bicycle! oh yeah, when he leaned against that car and the car moved off and he hit the ground, bet that hurt!
I don't have words
I love you, my lovely Buster Keaton
hey :)
im actually busret kenkuk
His physical stunts were the greatest. I hope that some younger people see these types of films. Such great performers shouldn’t be forgotten.
Not very young (37) but still, I grew up in the age of CGI. I have just discovered Keaton thanks to YT and I think his stunts are awesome 🙂
I hope that was the whole movie. I've seen other versions that have been edited. As usual, first class hilarity.

Thanx muchly, Silver Screen!
Another great treasure with our darling Buster! 😊 👍 💕
This was great.
That horse he rode was gorgeous!
Shire horse？

Recordado y querido Buster Keaton... Gracias.
Lots of love from India.
Such an amazing mix pf pathos and humor.
This is what our film maker, actor and director Raj Kapoor learned from the West.
Гениальная игра, гениального актера!
And a clever and fearless stunt man!
@@OrpheusSonOfCalliope О, да!
Can't believe that the car that turns out to be 2 motorcycles gag is as old as this
Hello, I saw this gag before but I can't remember, were else did you saw this before?
"I was once attached to a branch of the zoo" is WILD
I want to go back in time
Interesting/entertaining. Enjoy viewing 👀 cars/street cars & street lights of that era-!!!🤗
Никогда его раньше не видел . Это гениально !
Magnifico Buster
Amazing!
Great! I love it.
🤩excelent
Beautiful

Another amazing stunt. Breaking it down frame by frame. You can see water splash when he hits. Fake bricks over water. Still would have hurt, I'm sure. Very believable!
And I just found an article where Keaton said that they used a thin layer of wax over the water, painted to look like bricks!
increible!!!! thnks
Genius!
😅😅😅😅 очень интересной фильм.
Super❤❤❤❤❤
掉到了地球的另一邊，神秘的東方Cina？
😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
He had quite the bod! Who knew that physique was under all those baggy clothes!
Probably to be expected if he didn't have a stunt double lol

Why no music 🎵 credits?
The owner of the channel plays the music.
Look at the channel description.
Ah the silent film days
Cap cut
Эпоха начало 1800год 20 века 20 век а и до 21 века это же сколько столетий прошло
Quel très très Grand athlète il était ❤ invraisemblable.
18:09 - any idea of the name of that giant here?

채플린 보다 이 사람이 더 잘하고 더 재밋네..왜 인기를 못 얻었을까?

He has better luck in China. 😂

absurd and stupid...Chaplin was more believable.
Absurd, yes, stupid, no. Poetic. And i liké both for different reasons
