Two Buster Keaton's for the price of one from the National Film Board of Canada. The great comic genius of the silent era still shines in these two programs.

Buster Keaton Rides Again:
Filmed in Canada while Keaton was making The Railrodder, this 1965 documentary classic provides an absorbing portrait of one of the world's comic greats.It shows Keaton relaxing, telling yarns and plotting the next day's action with considerable flair despite his age.When he recalls gags he employed in the past, the video replays the old scenes.In his pork-pie hat and baggy pants, the star shows little noticeable change in appearance, or for that matter, in the timing of his gags.

Everyone, particularly Keaton's fans, will delight in this informal visit with the old pro.This is a memorable and intimate view of one of the most indestructible of slapstick comics.

The Railrodder:
Have you ever had the urge to travel across Canada?Well, comedian Buster Keaton did just that using a most unusual mode of transportation: he hoped aboard an open railway trackspeeder.

The Railrodder is full of visual gags.Perched on his seat, pork-pie hat firmly in place, this endearing traveller chugs nonchalantly past some of Canada's most spectacular landmarks.

Keaton draws the most laughs through his slapstick efforts to get comfortable on his bare conveyance.As he putt-putts his way from Nova Scotia to British Colombia, Keaton finds ways to shave, hunt geese, serve a formal tea and do laundry.
