@dbattistella a friend of mine made an excellent graphic novel about this exact story!

#busterkeaton #NFB #film #graphicnovel

In 1964, Buster Keaton came to Canada to make his final silent film. It was The Railrodder, a 25 min comedic travelogue produced by the National Film Board.

NFB filmmaker Gerald Potterton had the idea of making a film about a man going across Canada in a motorized rail cart.

Keaton agreed to be in the film because he loved trains and wanted to experience riding the rails in Canada.

Production began in the late-summer of 1964, and the movie was filmed in chronological order from east to west. Keaton turned 69 during filming and did all of his own stunts.

Various towns across the country held celebrations and screenings of Keaton's films, and he was treated to dinners nearly every single day.

The film was released in October 1965. Audiences loved the film, which became a beloved classic. The NFB sold the TV and film rights to 43 international markets.

Keaton died on Feb. 1, 1966.

Thanks for the reminder! Many folk might have watched ‘The General’, but all of these Keaton movies are great. I particularly like ‘Sherlock Jr.’ 🔍

Free and Easy (1930)

240p (!) versions on the Internet Archive & Wikiflix.

This one on Youtube claims to be 480p, but it looks the same quality as as the others, just with modern (but B&W) Warner Bros intro added

Buster Keaton has a good chance of being the creator of the Action Movie genre.

The great #BusterKeaton died 60 years ago today. It's remarkable he wasn't killed years earlier doing these stunts. https://youtu.be/frYIj2FGmMA?si=2G5Rln8O40hF0REH
