Truly a classic! Majestic scenery, patriotic glimpses of Canada, hysterical physical comedy and Keaton's face! As kids, my brother and I enjoyed this film so many times!
In 1964, Buster Keaton came to Canada to make his final silent film.
It was The Railrodder, a 25-minute comedic travelogue of Canada produced by the National Film Board. It became a classic beloved to this day.
This is the story.
