#MovieMonday “Steamboat Bill Jr.,” 1928 was Buster Keaton’s final independent film. It is arguably best known for the housefront stunt which has been much imitated, but never equalled. The gag started with Roscoe Arbuckle & Buster kept running with it until it reached its climactic end.

This Day in Buster…May 14, 1928

The Daily News, New York reports that Buster Keaton hits high with his newest comic offering, “Steamboat Bill, Jr.” However, they weren’t so keen on Marion Byron, describing her as “not particularly worthy of praise, but O.K.” Mr Canfield Jr seemed to think she was more than O.K.!

Before Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson, before Chuck Jones and Jackie Chan, there was Buster Keaton, one of the founding fathers of visual comedy. And nearly 100 years after he first appeared onscreen, we’re still learning from him. Today, I’d like to talk about the artistry (and the thinking) behind his gags.
