I saw this movie in Berkeley, California in the 196i0s. The theater was full of Keaton fans. I laughed until I couldn't breathe. It is Keaton's masterpiece. "Cops" should be shown with it. Thanks from Texas.
Nunca pensé que me gustarían tanto las películas del cine mudo o como se llame. Pero definitivamente Keaton era un genio, porque con pocos diálogos cuenta historias de una riqueza argumental increíbles.
बस्टर कीटन चार्ली चैपलिन के समकालीन हैं, और उनके स्टंट अतुल्य हैं। मैंने उनकी पहली क्लिप ४५ वर्ष की आयु में देखी, पर पहली क्लिप से ही दीवाना हो गया। महानतम कलाकार। इस फ़िल्म का संगीत भी अत्यंत उच्चस्तरीय है। (Buster Keaton is contemporary of Charlie Chaplin, and his stunts are incomparable. I saw his first clip when I was 45 year old and became his fan after the first clip itself. The greatest artist. This film's music is also very high quality.)
The look on his Dad’s face when he sees his son for the first time and Buster’s dance ... “If you say what you’re thinking, I’ll strangle you!” I cried. 🤣🤣🤣
La calidad de impresión (¡aparte de la comedia!) Es impresionante. Parece que se hizo el martes pasado por la tarde. Buster siempre fue lo mejor para mí. Y la música es magnífica. Muchas felicitaciones a Adrian y Paolo. Muchas gracias por compartir.
wow - you guys are amazingly wonderful! Fantastic job of restoring and accompanying a fine old classic. I've seen this many times since my youth in the 50's and this has to be by far the best I've seen. Love the voices and laughter - and the bowed(?) bass for King when he's giving his blah-blah-blah to the chosen few at the beginning of the tale. Kudos 💖 🇨🇦
I was about 28 yo (1970) when I hear for the 1st time that we will have “the video on demande” … Since 50 years after finally we have this satisfaction… but Hollywood must open his data bases… for every one of us especially the pensioners ..
At 28:00 minutes what was that brick he pulled out and bit off? Some kinda solid tobacco chew? I'd say chocolate but why'd he randomly have somthing that could melt easily in your pockets like that? What is it?
@@rty1955 I know it's not interlaced. But the source might have been. Films aren't 30fps, they're 24fps. And why is every 5th frame a duplicate frame? One explanation is that it was deinterlaced from a DVD source before being upscaled. Is this perhaps from a television broadcast? If so then, yes, it wouldn't have been interlaced and I apologize. But it still should have been IVTC'd back to its original 24fps to remove the duplicate frames and the slightly jerky playback. Also, it shouldn't have the black bars on the sides. If they were there originally, they should have been removed.
@@tommydan55 that's called a 3:2 pull-down. That is used to convert 24fps to 29.97 fps (not 30) Originally STD video was interlaced (2 fields to make a frame) but due to the phosphor coating on a CRT, you needed to scan at 60 fields per second so the top of the CRT wont go dark if only 29.97 were used. In case you dont understand how pull-down works: 3:2 pulldown is a process of converting 24 frames per second (fps) film to 29.97 fps interlaced video. In this process, the film is first slowed down 0.1% to match the speed difference between 29.97 fps and 30 fps. Then, film frames are distributed across video fields in a repeating 3:2 pattern in order to make 24 film frames fill the space of 30 video frames per second: • The first frame of film is copied to 3 fields of video, • the second frame of film is copied to 2 fields of video, • the third frame of film is again copied to 3 fields, • the fourth frame of film is copied to 2 fields, and so on. Incidentally the original NTSC standard WAS 30fps however when color was introduced it had to be changed to 29.97 so the transmitted signal didnt interfere with the carrier of the sound signal. I have worked in broadcast since the invention of video tape by AMPEX and extremely familiar with film to STD NTSC video Getting back to my ORIGINAL comment, the film xfer from the original film was done with great care. As denoted by lack of scratches and no sloppy gate movement and wonderful tones in the video. That was the purpose of my comment
@@rty1955 The fact I mentioned IVTC in my previous reply should have told you I already knew everything you wrote. Pause the film at a place with steady movement. Hold down the period key. Then steadily hit the comma key next to it and notice the film begin to move frame-by-frame. You should also notice a duplicate frame in every 5-frame cycle. Removing those dupe frames is a simple matter and tells me the uploader knows nothing about video work. It also tells me he's not responsible for any work that was done on the video. It may be necessary to telecine for DVD or add dupe frames for television broadcast. It's not necessary for RUclips. I suspect he used an already restored source - maybe from a TV broadcast, maybe from a DVD (with a bad upscale) - and deserves none of the praise you lavished on him. And "that was the purpose of my comment".
Adriàn Begoña, cuàndo fue estrenada esta pelìcula? Me gustarìa conocer ese detalle, porque a mi papà le gustaban las pelis con Buster Keaton y quisiera hacer cuentas para saber cuàntos años tenìa mi papà en ese entonces. Excelente calidad la de este film! Gracias
aha! The look on Buster's face when the hat guy put Buster's Pork Pie on head is hilarious .. I'm surprised Buster wasn't wearing a Charlie Chaplin mustache - he could have been wearing it when he tries on the bowler and then did the mustache shave bit after the hat bit -- it would have been a perfect dig at Charlie ..
I am shocked to see on RUclips certain sites that are colourising these classics of the silent era. They are beautiful in bw. Colourising just washes it all away. It's just utter vandalism. In a 100 years that's what may be left by what these people are doing.
Relax. You can always chose B&W version over the colorized if you're such purist, you twat! Nobody destroyed the B&W original after the colorization. Sheesh!
@@MichelleVisageOnlyFans Some colorizing companies restore, colorize, and then make only the colorized version available. One can not always choose the restored original black and white version.
It has Muddy Waters music! And the movie is very old. It is interesting. Watch how Keaton performs his jokes. Watch his timing. Try falling on your head yourself, time after time!
Actually, I believe the captions reading, "Muddy Waters" is in reference to the river, itself. The singer/songwriter, Muddy Waters, was only 15 years old when this film was made. But, if it's any consolation, I thought the same thing when I saw the words come up. And, hey, it wouldn't have been impossible.

Buster is an incredible trickster and actor, hardly anyone could surpass him in a hundred years
Yo the writing, acting and music in this is brilliant.
GRACIAS, OBRA MAESTRA QUE NO ENVEJECERA NUNCA!!!!QUE PLACER
So grateful these gems have been preserved.
Υπέροχη ταινία🎥🎬. Ευχαριστώ.

Great movie and Buster did all his stunts. What a genius!
I prefer watching / hearing these old silent films with the original music score, so thank you! Great upload, Adrian.
Keaton was such an athlete. Amazing film actually.
Excelente , Felicitaciones , teniendo imaginación para ir a la época , todo y toda la película merece un caluroso aplauso . Mucha Salud .
Buster Keaton.....Master comedian....Thankyou for uploading the movie.
Wow,I love the surreal moments that occur at nearly the end of this film-pure genius!
A classic coming of age story! Truly fantastic!
Keaton was pioneer !
Very nice work! Thank you!

Now I know where the Charlie Brown ‘adults voices’ comes from.
To think this was a mere hundred years ago is simply astounding, in comparison to the Times gone before.
Human race has changed so much, so quickly.
youknow -- I realize this is "splitting hairs", but this film won't be a hundred years old until 2028. Still, it's close. Be well!
@@Newton14alan Lol, yes sir.
Awesome and now a days I feel Keaton was more energetic and polular than Charlie of all his movies.
merveilleux!
et j'ai tellement ri pdt la tempête...
Genio absoluto
Amazing Movie
Bien echo. Deaquellona esta pelicula, ese. This is a freaking great movie. Buster was amazing in the stunts, very entertaining. Thanks for posting.
The guy is the best at everything?!!¡
Thank you!!!!!!!
Absolutely great
Acabo de ver esta película en la televisión y en la tv se veia como si fuera una grabacion mas antigua a diferencia del video
What a great product then!👍
Obrigado por compartilhar essa joia rara.
どの俳優さんも表情での演技が素晴らしい☆彡
Les quedó excelent!
The best of the best.
WoW!
POR SIEMPRE KEATON .
No. His real name was Russian. Neakotin. Can you believe it?
@@voornaam3191 I did not know that. Funny, he looks Russian (so gaunt) 💖 🇨🇦
La qualité de l'image !!! Incroyable !! Ils avaient déjà le HD à l'époque ?
Buster Keaton was great and funny! R.I.P. Mr. Face of marble ...
Love it 🥰
Great Keaton sir.
Magnifique qualité d'image ....
Merci ....
Je m'abonne ...
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Amazing !
Buster Keaton was the o.g. parkour type athlete. At least on the screen.
For future reference: PLAYBACK SPEED x .75 makes all these old silent films more realistic :)
Genial Buster
release date Buster Keaton - *Steamboat Bill Jr May 20, 1928*

Unbelievable xfer! Was it done frame by frame? Excellent contrast corrections and film cleanup.!
I doubt the uploader did anything besides screw it up by deinterlacing it.

extraordinário!!! como consegue sem dublê? será que não se machucava? muito show
fantastic quality for a 1928 movie
muito bom
Бесподобно!

Muito bom.
Keaton is more unpredictable than Chaplin

Canfield Sr. had Jr.'s moustache removed. It could reference to Chaplin. It can be a Hitler joke. What do you think? What year was this movie?
@@voornaam3191 -- 1928...A little early for Hitler, but not impossible I suppose.
@@voornaam3191 It was men's fashion at the time. That moustache style was so common, it hardly would refer to one person in particular.
