"The Railrodder" is a Canadian 25-minute movie from over 50 years ago written and directed by Gerald Potterton. But the star here is obviously the lead actor. Silent film legend Buster Keaton played the part about a year before his death and shows the audience that he still knows easily how to carry a film without dialogue from start to finish. He has some magical moments in here. the music is fine too. The story is not really that interesting or smart, but Keaton is good enough to make it work. As a whole, I enjoyed this film. At under half an hour, it was definitely an interesting watch and had a couple good moments. It is uplifting, but also a bit sad as the old Keaton shows us how nothing lasts forever. A must-see for Stoneface fans, a good watch for everybody else.
