Keaton did ALL OF HIS OWN stunts. During the filming of one of his 'short-films,' he actually broke his neck, but continued filming anyway. Year's later in an interview, he said, it was an ENTIRE YEAR before he realized his neck was.broke.
Loved seeing Buster laugh, that was way great. It brought him to life a bit more. It made him more human, in real life we would have all laughed at that scene.
Too bad Arbuckle, the Actress murdering-rapist of San Francisco in 1921, was in this. I actually BOUGHT this movie on 'Amazon,' JUST TO BURN IT. MAY HE ROT IN HELL
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL OLD FILM SO FUNNY SO SILLY I ENJOYED WATCHING BUSTER KEATON , ROSCOE ARBUCKLE AND AL ST.JOHN ARE SO GREAT I TRULY LIKE AND ENJOY WATCHING ALL THERE MOVIES AL ST.JOHN PLAYED IN SO MANY WESTERNS GOOD OLD FUZZY 1 27 2019
Lawrence Lewis - You'll only see this in his earliest silent short films with Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. Ain't he just adorable? ;-) I think he smiled on a rare occasion in a "talkie" or two. But I just stick to his silent films before M-G-M ruined his career with utter disrespect, no creative control, and horribly crappy movies (for the most part).
Luke the dog *not* climbing a ladder. Arbuckle's swimming was fantastic, and that 4th wall break was beautiful. He really is underrated compared to many of the other greats of the silent era, mainly due to Hearst. Keaton wasn't much more than a sidekick in many of the films with Arbuckle, unsurprising as Arbuckle was directing most of them, but you can see his future already.
Amazing. It's so early in his career that Buster hasn't yet perfected his Buster character. He smiles and laughs throughout the movie. At one point (11.07) he laughs naturally and then remembers that his character is supposed to cry. Fatty Arbuckle breaks the fourth on a number of occasions. The Keystone Cops get involved. A real snapshot of early cinema.
Well, remember this way back 1917, when a girl in a leotard might still have been considered risque. The "Roarin' Twenties" era of shorter skirts and hair was still a few years away. But, yeah - Buster's so cute (and muscular!) here! :-)
I'm surprised how riskque but it is vaudevillian. But the quirks and inclusion in camera for the acting seems sooo beyond it's time. They really utilized the mechanics of film.
You mean blatant 4th wall breaking? By this point he'd already looked straight to camera and winked at us. I must admit it didn't register at first, and then I thought "Hang on..."
I came to this site after watching Jay Leno do a segment on "Fatty" Arbuckle's car. I'd heard of the name before but had no idea about what he was to Hollywood. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!!! For being a heavy set man, he certainly was light on his feet. Reminded me alot of Jackie Gleason. Those were real actors back then, doing their own stunts without the luxury of retakes, varied camera angles and all the other advances that the modern film industry offers current "Actors". This was FUN!!!
Best guess why not any more : the action was too slow for today's audiences , plus it looks like the subfloor mechanism was pretty large and complex . It also looks like the "cars" were prone to getting stuck in one place . Never saw one before
I always wondered how all these silent film comedians could do all these prat falls, over and over, in film after film, without doing serious and lasting harm to themselves. everyone mentions Keaton in this film but completely neglect the rest of cast like alice mann, who played buster's girlfriend, agnes neilson, who played fatty's wife and even the wonderful keystone cops! and fatty arbuckle was the director and star of this film. he actually rivaled chaplin's fame in early silent comedy shorts until hearst decided to use his newspapers to ruin his career for a crime of which fatty was acquitted. and Al (Fuzzy) St. John was the third male lead here. he had a career that spanned 40 YEARS mainly in b-movie westerns!
@@DenitaArnold ... hearst definitely had a problem with the truth. he used his newspaper empire for sensationalism, political hatchery and personal vengeance. hearst didn't invent "yellow journalism" but he sure made a lot of money from it.
Keaton and Chaplin were the TWO. BEST at what they did. They formed a studio together, and the building to this day ... is still there. It's now a museum.
I one read,that R.Arbuckle did lots of drugs, If i remember correctly. The Name of the book was "Hollywood Babylon" A nice Film, though-and forgive mistakes,i am from Germany. Greetings, O
Chaplin and Keaton teamed up and formed a movie production company, which is now a museum. Chaplin is ALSO one of the FIVE founding members of a movie production company .... known to the world as, "United Artists."
Buster doing the back flip is so cute!
He was athletic before that was a thing
@@asbestosfibers1325 I think he's the Bee's Knees 🐝

Perhaps my favorite Keaton short silent comedy film of all time! "We had faces back then!", said Norma Desmond - and here it's on full display!! :-D
Love these old two reelers! Let's all go back in time 100 years!

The changing room sequence is very funny.....especially today!
Buster in early 20's years, such a baby
👍
ohhh
He was só young and cute i love when buster was smiling!
Você eh do Brasil ? Eu sou e amo buster Keaton para mim um dos mais talentosos doces e bonitos astros da historia do cinema

They all the best comedian God bless there soul 🌷🌺🍀
What a great film ! So many wonderful actors ! I love seeing old Coney Island as well . Thank you .
I wish there were more scenes of old Coney Island. (I only know Coney Island from 1960 to the present.)
9:16 hey! Buster's laughing!
Yes ;)
Leo powers buster when was young was só beautiful ! i wanna hold him !kissing him ! i need a time machine!
he had a sense of humor.
Arbuckle can really swim! Nice to see such a good print. Love me my Buster - smitten for 35 yrs... whew!
You mean .... Arbuckle the murdering rapist of San Francisco in 1921?
YEP! Ruined his career.

The swim scene reminds me of the Sheldon in the ball pit scene minus the BAZINGAs.
For being the murdering-rapist of San Francisco in 1921, he was lucky to have Keaton as a friend.
This RUINED his career .... THANK GOD.

14:24 I LMAO when Buster fainted! You think he's never seen a girl in a leotard before!Lol!😂

Excellent movie..
I just love his movies. Pity he died so young. Considering his size, he really was a remarkable athlete.
I'm surprised how riskque but it is vaudevillian. But the quirks and inclusion in camera for the acting seems sooo beyond it's time. They really utilized the mechanics of film.
12:35 one of the earliest 4th wall breaking.
yes, I love that moment! xD
You mean blatant 4th wall breaking? By this point he'd already looked straight to camera and winked at us. I must admit it didn't register at first, and then I thought "Hang on..."
@@JJMMWGDuPree Arbuckle broke the 4th wall all the time. He'd do anything to get the audience on his side.
see...they were doing product placement all the way back during the silent era
great commercial for coney island
A really fun comedy with Roscoe, Buster, Al St. John, Beautiful Alice Mann, and “Luke” the Dog!
Too bad the rapist murdering Arbuckle was in it. YEP! Raped and murdered an aspiring actress in a San Francisco hotel room in 1921.

I watch it very often.
It seems strange to see Buster using facial expressions.
What was that weird ride with the wobbly floor? And why don't we have one any more?
That was Witching Waves.
Best guess why not any more : the action was too slow for today's audiences , plus it looks like the subfloor mechanism was pretty large and complex . It also looks like the "cars" were prone to getting stuck in one place . Never saw one before
OHS.
First time Buster gets the girl. :) Who could resist a man in a lifeguard uniform?
Buster was hot !
Anna Ferrara buster looks like an angel
At the beginning of the movie she was with Buster in the first place.
Even as a straight guy I think Keaton would have been a teenage heart throb in his day
@@claudiabrandofreitas7363 Then why is he not wearing white and where are his wings and halo? Also, why can't he fly?
Excellent!!!!!
Buster a 21/22 y/o boy :-)
Who is the third dude that is not Buster or Arbuckle?
He is wild!
@@endurablitz1861 Later on, he became Fuzzy..Lash Larues' sidekick.
03:29 Jim Carrey was inspired by him for his character.
Miauz I who Al St. John
"Bathing suits for hire"! Imagine that today!?
Fatty looking modest and demure to the camera! LMAO!!
Очень интересно про Луна-парк: в 1917 аттракционы те же, что в 2017, даже лучше были: автодром, ударь кувалдой по платформе.
Buster Keaton with emotions is kinda weird
It's an English thing, the English are cold.
Buster Keaton was American though.
I agree. It's very bizarre and strange. Almost off putting after seen his other "stoneface" films.
Victor malyar buster was born on pickway Kansas!
In his later films Buster expresses his emotions with his eyes.
I always wondered how all these silent film comedians could do all these prat falls, over and over, in film after film, without doing serious and lasting harm to themselves.
everyone mentions Keaton in this film but completely neglect the rest of cast like alice mann, who played buster's girlfriend, agnes neilson, who played fatty's wife and even the wonderful keystone cops!
and fatty arbuckle was the director and star of this film. he actually rivaled chaplin's fame in early silent comedy shorts until hearst decided to use his newspapers to ruin his career for a crime of which fatty was acquitted. and Al (Fuzzy) St. John was the third male lead here. he had a career that spanned 40 YEARS mainly in b-movie westerns!
Yeah I ain't got no love for Hearst.
@@DenitaArnold ... hearst definitely had a problem with the truth. he used his newspaper empire for sensationalism, political hatchery and personal vengeance. hearst didn't invent "yellow journalism" but he sure made a lot of money from it.
Keaton a good movie maker.
Keaton and Chaplin were the TWO. BEST at what they did. They formed a studio together, and the building to this day ... is still there. It's now a museum.
@@billyrichards8834 interesting.
BUSTER KEATON WAS A GENIUS ACTOR
Это бесподобно
why would they turn down other videos of these, is this not public domain yet?
I don't know, but like you, I do think this is in the public domain as are a lot of these wonderful old treasures.
That Fuzzy Johns!
I noticed some of this music is from laurel and hardy's earlier films 10:31
Os filmes são muito bons.dulados seriam muito melhor tranquilo.
Too bad Buster never worked with Mabel Normand. Both were good swimmers. Coulda starred in a 1910's version of Baywatch LOL
Why cut the ending
Seeing Buster laugh and smile was always strange to me. This was made before he only had a blank face
9:12 The BEST
The good oh days
Chris Farley would have been a great fatty art buckle
...i can see David Spade playing Buster Keaton!
No. Farley wasn't a rapist murdering piece of crap low-life like FAT ASS Arbuckle. Raped and murdered a woman in a San Francisco hotel room in 1921
What kind of horses were those in the beging?
7:10 sliding into her dms like
Fatty Arbuckle... cool
He looks like Chris Farley, probably also a junkie.
he looked like John Candy.
wasnt the career ending rumor that ol roscoe got frisky and used an icicle rudely on a lass?
Let's shout for the RAPIST--MURDERING Arbuckle. Raped and murdered an Aspiring Actress in a San Francisco hotel room in 1921.
Luna-park 1917 is similar to ones in 2017.
Yes, I was impressed.
not similar at all, back then Coney wasn't a ghetto.

Funny 😄
This was awful hard to watch. The 'background' wouldn't stay still.
I one read,that R.Arbuckle did lots of drugs, If i remember correctly. The Name of the book was "Hollywood Babylon"
A nice Film, though-and forgive mistakes,i am from Germany.
Greetings, O
Hollywood Babylon was a book of false information. It's been debunked. Don't believe it. It was written by a porn producer. Consider the source
Arbuckle ALSO RAPED and MURDERED an Aspiring actress in a San Francisco hotel room in 1921.
Chaplin is da best ever
Keaton is da best ever
@@user-ol5uc8nx1z I agree!!
They are both good comedians, do not underestimate or overestimate anyone. they are just different. 🙂
Chaplin and Keaton teamed up and formed a movie production company, which is now a museum. Chaplin is ALSO one of the FIVE founding members of a movie production company .... known to the world as, "United Artists."
Awful! I suffered 15 minutes then wrote this and left.
