Sybil Seely (real name Sybil Travilla) was the best leading lady Buster Keaton ever had. She was feisty, playful and sexy as hell, had no problem with messy slapstick, and did her own stunts when required. Not like the helpless caricatures of women who tended to populate Keaton's later films. What a shame they only made five short comedies together before Seely got married and left show business. But what she did still shines after almost a century.
I saw this version in high school and as a pianist, it always stuck to me how beautiful it was. Thank you for uploading this, other versions have different soundtracks and to me this is the best
Cannot agree with you more. The fact that Keaton, Lloyd and others were basically their own stuntmen too is just unbelievable. Today we have greenscreen which doesn't require any of those qualities anymore. I'm not saying I always want to see actors risking their own lives on screen but it definitely created a unique and genuine experience that today's television is incapable of. I highly admire those comedians of the past century.
I'm surprised Ford Motor Company allowed the film to be made. The scene where he nails the car to the house and the car splits in half seems to suggest the car was badly made. I was expecting him to pull the front off his house instead. The scene where he runs around madly trying to get the car off the tracks is probably the only time Buster Keaton ever looked worried about anything.
A hundred years later and still makes me laugh.

I really like the soundtrack to this one, doesn't overpower the film but still adds a little to it :)
The difference between his comedies and today's is his made sense and were usually in good taste.
Best years of cinema!

Jackie Chan loves Buster Keaton Movies he was greatly influenced by Buster Keaton's Stunts

I would give anything to live in the 1920's.
Well, with all the medical breakthroughs of course. lol
Let's hope you don't have dark skin
Bite Me nope, I got lucky.
Also stay away from painted surfaces (lead poisoning) and demolished buildings (asbestos dust).
@@biteme9486 and leave through Great Depression or WW2? Hmm
Anyone know what the music used in this video is? It isn't the Frisell piece mentioned in the description.
Why did his wife go in the opposite car in the beginning?
They both wanted to change the car because they couldn't kiss without the driver always looking.
