Buster Rides Again

In 1965 there was a film starring the old movie actor, Buster Keaton, called The Railrodder. It was a short subject and was the last film in which Buster Keaton had a real starring role, at least in anything memorable.

While they were making The Railrodder, they shot a much-longer documentary about how the film was made. In it, you get to see Buster in his natural habitat: On a movie shoot, trying to figure out how to make things work. Here it is — all 55 minutes of Buster Keaton Rides Again...

When you have an hour to spare, sit back, relax . . . and watch a Hollywood legend. He's long since passed on to The Great Perhaps - but this
is an interesting look at him as he tries to recapture his glory years:
