I love this film, but it's usually better with the sound off , except for the version released in 1995, scored entirely with Scott Joplin. The soundtrack was copyrighted in 1994 and had a limited release on VHS in 1995 in honor of Keaton's100th birthday. I've never heard such an enjoyable silent film score until this one. I have posted 2 clips from the 16mm film (never released). A live piano presentation of this version is being planned in the Phila. area, a new release on DVD to follow.
is this the one where he tried joining the army and they refused him and somehow he runs into the American army and such.. and there is a whole case of sillyness trying to get back to his own base to warn the others?
@DrClay999 He's denied because he's needed as a train engineer, but they don't tell him that specifically. His GF thinks he's a shirker and refuses to see him until he enlists. His train, The General, is stolen by Union raiders and this clip is one of his attempts to get it back.
I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please check out my clip of silent movie star tobacco cards. They include: Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Rudolph Valentino, Mary Pickford, Lillian Gish, Tom Mix, Jackie Coogan, Harold Lloyd and many more.

There is no original music to silent films, it's all impro when they show them.
