A look at Canada
25 March 2004
Yes, that's about it. As the film was produced by the National Film Board of Canada, it was a look at Canada, with Buster along for the ride. I saw this in school when it was first released, and as I had never heard of Buster, I became very interested in Buster Keaton's famous stone face. I was glad to see the film, as it started me off on a journey to see as many of the oldies as I could. And having an 8 movie retrospective of Keaton at our local repertory theater, was definitely one of my high points! With "The Three Ages" "The General" Steamboat Bill Jr." and many others, I discovered how good he was. While "The Railrodder" may be more of a film for die hard Keaton fans, I would recommend it.
