Hard Luck (1921) Buster Keaton, Virginia Fox

[@RealCurious51]

His physical stunts were the greatest. I hope that some younger people see these types of films. Such great performers shouldn’t be forgotten.

[@jacopostatti3129]

I don't have words I love you, my lovely Buster Keaton

[@echoecho3108]

Thanx muchly, Silver Screen! Another great treasure with our darling Buster! 😊 👍 💕 This was great.

[@alwaysbearded1]

I hope that was the whole movie. I've seen other versions that have been edited. As usual, first class hilarity.

[@silverscreenfilmotheque9071]

This is what I know. It is not 100% complete, maybe 90%. Some scenes are damaged beyond repair, mostly nearing the end. I'm afraid that those parts are lost. The majority of the work negatives and the distribution copies of the 40's and 50's were destroyed once the rights lapsed into the public domain. The archived originals are damaged - lost. This copy comes from an old 2" Ampex video tape - a recorded transcription from a 16mm film used for TV / Video Distribution - done in the early 70's using a telecine. The reel was an edited composite of diverse surviving positives.

@@silverscreenfilmotheque9071 Wow, I'm impressed! Someone that has researched the provenance of these works! Most people just rip a copy of a film, and I am indebted to them as well. But kudos to you for sharing the history of this nascent art work!

That horse he rode was gorgeous!

Shire horse？

Recordado y querido Buster Keaton... Gracias.

I have a book on Buster Keaton movies and it said the ending to this comedy was lost, but described how it was supposed to end. They must have found some footage from another source that had the ending and included it here. In the book it said that ending when he came out of the hole with the Chinese family got the biggest laugh in the whole film.

Interesting/entertaining. Enjoy viewing 👀 cars/street cars & street lights of that era-!!!🤗

[@a12zN]

Great! I love it.

[@melc311]

Can't believe that the car that turns out to be 2 motorcycles gag is as old as this

[@tuyalosabez9006]

Hello, I saw this gag before but I can't remember, were else did you saw this before?

Magnifico Buster

[@rocklunatiko]

Amazing!

[@samfulks4896]

Beautiful

[@analogueandy8x10]

Another amazing stunt. Breaking it down frame by frame. You can see water splash when he hits. Fake bricks over water. Still would have hurt, I'm sure. Very believable!

[@analogueandy8x10]

And I just found an article where Keaton said that they used a thin layer of wax over the water, painted to look like bricks!

Genius!

[@oliviasimonich2386]

He had quite the bod! Who knew that physique was under all those baggy clothes!

[@smoppet]

Probably to be expected if he didn't have a stunt double lol

[@emmitstewart1921]

It was not surprising since he had been doing stunt work from childhood and much of his movies included strenuous stunt work. I would not be surprised if under the tramp's baggy clothes, Charlie Chaplin was just as well built.

Why no music 🎵 credits?

[@jfverboom7973]

The owner of the channel plays the music. Look at the channel description.

👏👏👍

[@tenfourproductionsllc]

18:09 - any idea of the name of that giant here?

[@silverscreenfilmotheque9071]

"Big Joe" Roberts, a long time friend of Buster's father and a member of their vaudeville troupe. He was 1.91 mts tall, contrasting with Buster's 1.68 mts.

[@tenfourproductionsllc]

@@silverscreenfilmotheque9071 Thank you for the information and channel. One thing I noticed with all these early comedians is they were all short men, that probably played better into comedy skits.

Even funny today and a very fit looking man, those are cyclist legs, bet he rode a bicycle! oh yeah, when he leaned against that car and the car moved off and he hit the ground, bet that hurt!

absurd and stupid...Chaplin was more believable.

Absurd, yes, stupid, no. Poetic. And i liké both for different reasons
