Thanks so much for this lovely archive of Buster Keaton. I am obsessed with his work. He is like a god to me and we were so lucky to have him. I wish I could have lived back then for just that possibility of meeting the brilliant man himself.
He was my late father, one of the favourite actors: Those times! Film used to continue for days & months! As audio System was absent! The band seating in theatre, used to play music, according to scenes! I am watching him for the first time in my life! Thanks a lot!
During the golf sequences, he's wearing a style of pants called Knickerbockers. They were loose fitting and cut off a little below the knee. They were typically used for playing sports; especially Golf. Just an interesting tidbit about that time.
I was amazed after knowing that the stunts are real. Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Mr. Bean is the greatest comedy collaboration that never happened.
The kings of comedy: Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, the Keystone Kops. Love it. Comedians nowadays can't even come close to this, and they think they have to use foul language to be funny.
9:10 i like how buster keaton's films had women characters that had personality and did actions that affected the plot, and were not just objects to woo. awesome stuff.
I love how near the end he copied their old vaudeville routine from when he was a kid. It's also very fitting that the first convict to be hut by the ball on the rope is his father, Joe Keaton.
Thank You for posting this. I've been looking for it for awhile. In it, Buster Keaton re-create the ball routine stunt he perfected when he was a boy and working with his parents on the vaudeville stage. No film footage exists of their act which consisted of a table stunt and a ball stunt, much like is seen in this film. His father would be in the center of the stage proceeding to give a lecture on the proper way to bring up children while in the background, Buster would be misbehaving with a ball on a rope. He would swing it round and round until it finally wacked his dad upside the head. His dad would then chase him all around the stage and when he caught him, he would give little Buster a tussle. Its nice to get an idea of what their act used to look like way back when it was billed as ''The Roughest Act in Vaudeville'
Keaton never made a dull silent film (in my opinion). I´ve seen just about all the silents he appeared in, included the Roscoe Arbuckle ones...all pure genius. As for this being a bad print, there is ample technology today that can fix it to top quality. Just a matter of will. A late 1920s film with Mary Pickford, playing a Spanish lady, was in such a bad shape, many images were blurred or scarred and altogether a mess to look at. It was restored to HD quality, looking even better than when it was released. If i recall correctly, there is a better print of this in a DVD release of all the existing shorts Keaton made.
It's hard to believe that over three hundred trolls gave this film a thumbs down. I wonder how far they had to go from the bridges they lived under to see this comedy classic.
Quite possibly they thumbed down the horrible and invasive music that added nothing to the narrative. There was also nothing stated in the description as to why this particular score was included in the first place. Was it an "original" score, an improvisation or in any way supposed to aid the motions or characterization on screen? I just found the whole film unwatchable. And no ... in anticipation of the stock you tube answer to this type of issue .... having to mute something which was deliberately included is not an obvious "solution".
The image quality is not the best and the intertitles are written with a very modern letter, but it is the most complete version in TH-cam, all the other lack approximately one minute of footage and the image is cut off by the edges, so thanks uploading this version. I saw her with my little nieces and they loved her from beginning to end.
Sadly, convict 13 is one of his films that we're lucky even to have a bad print of. I believe it had been lost for some time, and then they rediscovered it. Sad it's in such bad condition though. I hate to see silent films in this state.
Molly R. Goates Unfortunately a ton of silent movies aren’t in great condition... however we should be thankful for the silent movies that do still exist. 90% of all silent films ever made are now considered lost... it’s heartbreaking 😭
Thank you so much for this archive. Buster Keaton is my hero. I think Charlie Chaplin is like Bill Gates and Buster Keaton is Steve Jobs(and absolutely I prefer Keaton).
What is that desk with the ropes used to release the trapdoor (at 11:19) called? I can't find any info on that and I'm so curious to find out more about it. Can someone help me?
But. the original ending is still missing unfortunately, in september of last year i came across a video of the film here on youtube,. it was uploaded from a foreign print. well anyway after buster is woken up from his girl sybil,he is escorted by her back to motorcycle with sidecar attached driven by his caddy and the scene fades.i wonder did this still missing ending closed with a classic keaton sight gag.

"Sorry, boys. We'll fix it and tomorrow we'll hang two of you to make up for this." LMAO.
Buster Keaton is still funny roughly 100 years after he made this film. That is brilliant!

The Ingenuity Of Yesteryears Comedians Amazes Me To No End, So Much More Creative than these days.
So it was all a dream? My first time watching Buster. What a showman!!
I wish they'd bring back silent movies. This was wonderful to watch. Thank you 😊
Buster could do sooo much with so little. Love him even more for that
Old is gold 💗
@Sanjana Singh I am realizing that and I love it
If Nick Cage starred in a silent movie, it would be a triumph. There's nothing more expressive than his big green eyes.
Silent movie...but created big bang in my heart. First time hearing and seeing such actor..and his marvell in comedy.
Great. I laughed to tears all the way. Thank you from France, Лиза Никулина
He was my late father, one of the favourite actors: Those times! Film used to continue for days & months! As audio System was absent! The band seating in theatre, used to play music, according to scenes!
I am watching him for the first time in my life!
Thanks a lot!
Wait - WHO was your 'late father' - Buster Keaton??
Prove it.
Wait a minute - or are you saying that Buster Keaton was one of your father's favourite actors?
This is one of my favorite Buster Keaton shorts.It's so funny,and Big Joe Roberts.I can't stop laughing 🤣
Joe was the perfect foil in buster's movies till his untimely death after filming our hospitality.
Just brilliant , thoroughly enjoyed ,not one I've seen before , loved the musical score .
So cool that it has the original beginning in tact. thanx for posting
+MacEstelle you are welcome
Swinging that ball and chain is so funny and innovative. He was the first to do so many stunts and visual tricks.
He was the BEST ever,in physical comedy and was doing his own amazing real stunts and no one could match him in that.Jackie Chan was inspired by him.

I am not a big fan of silent stuff...but this is top class in dozens of ways
"The inmate of a nearby prison takes a keen interest in outdoor pursuits..." - what a jewel of a sentence! 3:07
Old school comedy is still the best
99 years old and its great
Real bro
During the golf sequences, he's wearing a style of pants called Knickerbockers. They were loose fitting and cut off a little below the knee. They were typically used for playing sports; especially Golf. Just an interesting tidbit about that time.
I love it when Buster makes all the prison guards march in time with him. Very funny
Buster keaton é gênio!
Está película tiene 101 años.realmemte Fantástico......👏👏👏👏👍👍🇨🇱🇨🇱😱😵

Are
"Mr. Bean" is terrible. Really terrible.
Simplemente Maravilloso!!!!!
Daaaaamn 🖤 one of my favorite Keatons!!!
Oh God!! calling Buster a Genius will be an understatement ... his gags are being copied till date but he did it so much better 97 years back..
The kings of comedy: Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, the Keystone Kops. Love it. Comedians nowadays can't even come close to this, and they think they have to use foul language to be funny.
Need foul language! Heck, back then they didn't even need WORDS!
Don’t forget the Three Stooges and those fabulous Marx Brothers!
A beautiful print! Thank you.
"the inmate of a nearby prison takes a keen interest in outdoor pursuits..." LOL
He's so young in this one.
amazing actor
El único actor que la mímica no la tenía en su cara. Grande entre los Grandes.
great comedy thank u for posting

Feminist minds are so atrophied. Idiots.
the fact you look for things like that shows how sexist you are
pretty sure that was sarcasm
@@Krissy_Bunnie In this environment you think that was sarcasm? No. Plain stupidity from the 'everything is politics' social criminals of the left.
@@Averyofthemain I think both sides are to blame, but I don't feel like getting into that.
They ended this just how used to finish my stories in 5th grade. "and it was all a dream" lol. That means I have potential
He started out playing golf, and ended up assistant Warden of a prison
I love how near the end he copied their old vaudeville routine from when he was a kid. It's also very fitting that the first convict to be hut by the ball on the rope is his father, Joe Keaton.
This movie is a brilliant metamorphosis between scenes.
heavyweight hangman champion..that is freaking hilarious
We rarely see this kind of shows today.
Спасибо за видеоролик, сюжет мне больше понравился, спасибо всем, спасибо.

This film proves that Bungee jumping and Martial arts are not a new thing

"Sorry boys. We'll fix the rope & tomorrow we'll hand two of you to make up for this!" 😂..
Reeeee Genial 👍 un comediante extraordinario!!!
А шляпу у Китона "заимствовал" Ю. Никулин., а красотка на первых кадрах- копия девушка из "Однажды в Америке". 👍🚃👍😂

How cleverer was that, their is a master at work.
He was a Great athlete too.
Outside of Laurel and Hardy, I've never much bothered with silent movies. Keaton was one very fit man to have done those stunts. Much impressed.

Master of all comedy in ad-lib silent movies. His style is solo and only copied by jealous comedians… My total A1--- 100%--- Perfect in my eyes ….
Toujours des histoires de fou qui font bien rire.Buster est l'un des plus grands du muet.

charlie chaplin used to live at the ngamplang garoet hotel in Indonesia, now there are golf courses and other entertainment venues
He was a god 😇🙏👼 of comedy
原來一百年前有那麼多好笑演員，好像真人卡通。
Thank you so much for this archive. Buster Keaton is my hero. I think Charlie Chaplin is like Bill Gates and Buster Keaton is Steve Jobs(and absolutely I prefer Keaton).
That's a bizarre analogy lol
He's telling us the story of how ridiculous one's fate can be. Convict 13! convicted of his own bad luck!
I can't stop laughing from Zambia 😙

Buster Keaton war einer der Allerbesten. You are Going to be hanged today...😁...und eine echt hübsche Freundin hat er
Absolute genius
Great piano!
Amazing
Very good film
He was creative
I like how the car in the background of 5:31 coincidentally ran up into them doing that sequence in a film, I bet they were so confused and amazed.
I love it
What is that desk with the ropes used to release the trapdoor (at 11:19) called? I can't find any info on that and I'm so curious to find out more about it. Can someone help me?
What a nice clip you can't stop laughing.
Who is watching 2024😂?
Buster isn't locked in there with the prisoners, the prisoners are locked in with Buster
But. the original ending is still missing unfortunately, in september of last year i came across a video of the film here on youtube,. it was uploaded from a foreign print. well anyway after buster is woken up from his girl sybil,he is escorted by her back to motorcycle with sidecar attached driven by his caddy and the scene fades.i wonder did this still missing ending closed with a classic keaton sight gag.
