www.youtube.com Buster Keaton in “Battling Butler”. The great Buster Keaton. The greatest physical comedian in cinema history. Buster Keaton Performing Stunts. Battling Butler is a 1926 comedy silent film directed by and starring Buster Keaton. Alfred’s father, portrayed as a wealthy aristocrat, feels his son has grown up too comfortably and as a result has not become what a man should be. To remedy this predicament he sends his son Alfred off on a hunting trip. On the trip, in the midst of many follies brought on by his inexperience with the outdoors, he meets a young mountain girl. After some initial friction he decides he has fallen in love with her. Alfred’s butler, who has accompanied him on the outing, is sent to arrange the marriage with the girl’s father, who thinks Alfred is too weak to become a member of the family. In an attempt to change the father’s mind, the butler tells the girl’s father and brother that Alfred is actually Alfred “Battling” Butler, promoted in the morning newspaper as a professional boxer. The deceptive explanation works, and the father and brother of the mountain girl proudly arrange a wedding. Comic mischief ensues as Alfred and his butler attempt to make their newly fabricated story seem plausible to the family of his new bride.

    Buster Keaton doesn’t look funny at all. He doesn’t have the same face expression as Charlie Chaplin.

    Charlie chaplin is definitely the best comic actor of all time. I love the boxing scene from Charlie Chaplins “CITY LIGHT”. Go see it and you will agree with me!!!

    Charlie Chaplin ist eigentlich genauso lustig wie Buster Keaton
    nur Charlies Filme sind nicht nur Lustig sondern in anderen Parts auch sehr traurig

    I think the same. I prefer movies with Buster Keaton, because I don’t like Chaplin’s maudlin

    @BrightGreenDream – I guess because Chaplin came first and paved the way for Keaton and others. But I think that more people these days (like me) prefer watching Keaton over Chaplin, because Chaplin can get a bit too maudlin for present-day tastes, while Keaton is rarely (maybe never) maudlin.

    Buster Keaton is the Jackie Chan of comedy.
