Big Movies For Little Kids Presents:

BUSTER KEATON

This special selection of Buster Keaton's short films include: One Week (1921), The Goat (1923) and The Scarecrow (1920). In One Week, Buster and his bride try to build a do it yourself house. Disaster ensues. This film is considered by many to be the perfect short comedy. In The Goat, Buster is mistaken for an escaped convict, launching a chase with more gags than you can shake a stick at. In The Scarecrow, Buster lives in a house rigged with mechanical gadgets, loses his clothes in a harvesting machine and gets married on a speeding motorcycle. (Black & White, Silent Shorts, trt: 65 mins)
