The story involves two newlyweds, Keaton and Seely, who receive a build-it-yourself house as a wedding gift. The house can be built, supposedly, in "one week". A rejected suitor secretly re-numbers packing crates. The movie recounts Keaton's struggle to assemble the house according to this new "arrangement". The end result is depicted in the picture. As if this were not enough, Keaton finds he has built his house on the wrong site and has to move it. The movie reaches its tense climax when the house becomes stuck on railroad tracks. Keaton and Seely try to move it out the way of an oncoming train, which eventually passes on the neighboring track. As the couple look relieved, the house is immediately struck and demolished by another train coming the other way. Keaton stares at the scene, places a 'For Sale' sign with the heap (attaching the building instructions) and walks off with Seely.
The New York Times movie review said, "One Week, a Buster Keaton work, has more fun in it than most slap-stick, trick-property comedies."

[@danielhall6354]

having the first train miss and then the house getting hit by another just as you think it's an anti-climax is really funny

[@derrickwashington1713]

He used this gag again for the film Parlor, Bedroom and Bath (this time with a car).

[@Stone1108]

Those stunts, what a bloke, not to mention the comedy, 101 plus years ago and still entertaining. 👏👏 👏 Buster, his fellow cast and production team. may you all RiP.

[@christopherstilley7756]

I've long noticed that the,Keaton and Harold Lloyd comedies alongside with their leading ladies,in spite of the action and technicalities of the humor ,manage to also be far more romantic than many so called straight romantic movies.

[@fatmah5164]

RIGHT??

[@mikewilson714]

I really can't watch any Chaplin. Lloyd was superior in every way, imo.

[@isaiahchapman7660]

I remember going to my state fair, and they were showing this film with a live piano player. It started my love for Black and White Silent Pictures.

[@TorQueMoD]

First time I've watched a Buster Keaton movie. This was fantastic and a great intro to a legend!

[@tomajortom]

The bathtub scene is unforgettable. Keaton was a genius.

[@Jay-xg9bu]

Sad he died with nothing to his name but a legacy in silent motion pictures

[@ywgmb35]

@@Jay-xg9bu he didn't have the riches of his early years, but for the last 15 years or so of his life he was doing quite well; touring Europe six months every year and working on all sorts of projects. The first part of his death announcement in the LA Times shows how busy he was www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/archives/la-me-buster-keaton-19660202-story.html

[@MasterRoshi8974]

​​@@moltennoodle his last name was Keaton not noodle

[@karenkaren3189]

@@Jay-xg9bu Not true! He was very happily married to the love of his life, Eleanor. He had his children and grandchildren and a lovely little ranch in Woodland Hills. He worked constantly in film and TV. His movies had been discovered and saved. He received an academy award. He died knowing that his work would be remembered. And he died basically sober (had a beer each night with dinner). He always said that he had the best life

[@lesafowers8142]

This film a hundred years later is still the best! Buster Keaton is the most beloved caracter actor that ever existed. I love all his work so much. I laugh, cry and clap the whole way through. 👏👏👏

[@picklesthewise]

Amazing. This film is 100 years old and is still preserved for us to enjoy today.

[@johnferguson4089]

That was absolutely incredible especially when the actors had to do all the stunts themselves.. Also the organ accompaniment added a touch of how the film would have been seen originally in many of the larger theatres and was really great.

[@thomasthomas6645]

Nowadays this house will be a work of art

[@robertagregory7177]

They got a 1920s IKEA house 😅

[@ianjohnson458]

A legendary short, and dear god was Sybil Seely a stunning beauty.

[@cinemasage]

i got very lucky to see this on the big screen. i was around seven years old or so and later on watched a really great documentary on Keaton. Keaton's short films were nothing more but pure masterpieces.

[@zerocow3351]

In Keaton's worldview, a character is like a two-dimensional character wandering in a three-dimensional world. After enduring the suspense of a two-dimensional character falling into danger in a three-dimensional world, and then seeing unexpected results surprise, the audience feels as if they are in a higher world than them.

[@user-ry9nl8cj2x]

Isn't that the truth

[@JAProductions494]

Can we all agree that Handy Hank created the cinematic villain I mean, he’s a true irredeemable monster 😂

Lol, the gravity of when he says "I'll be right down"@20:13! And yes, pun intended 😉

100 years on,still a funny short😉

[@datfloof2732]

WHY IS THIS STILL FUNNY 😅😂

[@nestorchikoti]

He was not only a genius, but his athleticism was unbelievable... and countless scenes where he risks his life and yet retains that stoic, deadpanned expression. There will never be another like him.

[@yudhistiraaldistaputramirz5925]

8:47 damn that need a master skill to do it

[@EPWillard]

If memory serves correct Keaton started in his dad's vaudeville act where he would be thrown around on stage with special straps sewn into the back of his costumes and he just kept learning how to do physical comedy and ways to (relatively)safely do stunts.

[@MatthewGhirardi]

22:49 my favorite part 🤣🤣🤣

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Does anyone else feel that this film is rather surreal ?

[@steampunkwilson7435]

That was Keaton's intent, I believe

[@finboror]

Yeah that's the point

[@Rjgj55hyrfhut]

Surrealism is just comedy that isn't funny

True love! That girl is a Miracle. She never left and helped him in every way ( even pushing the whole house) through all the ups and downs. Something which doesn't exist these days

[@angelitacochran8161]

Women had that kind of staying power but when men went by the wayside (alchohol) they gave up.

[@davidapodaca6827]

Of course she stayed by his side, it was written in the script

You've just been unlucky

this was much more funny than most modern day comedy and enjoyed every secound of it!!

The train gag that caps this film was re-purposed eleven years later in Keaton's 1931 film "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath."

[@nopenada8071]

I love watching the people within the film not having a clue what to do. This was the first humans ever to experience being filmed and they didn't know how to react! Haha
