Buster Keaton in 'General Nuisance'

Buster Keaton and Elsie James in "General Nuisance"
(1941)
I've noticed that there wasn't much of Buster's Columbia shorts on YouTube, so here is one of my favorite scenes from them, with Buster singing and dancing.

Ah, Keaton - what a guy! Thanks for the upload ... wish I could see more of the Columbia shorts (not available in Aus that I can find *sigh*)

[TheComicStripCast]

@LucyLasticAU You're welcome. I'm going to see if I can upload the full shorts when I can, but like I said, I'm experiencing some technical difficulties. This was originally uploaded as a test.

Ooops! His Columbia shorts look much better to us than the critics of the time reviewed them-Buster was profoundly under appreciated in his lifetime

[TheComicStripCast]

@ignatzratsky He definitely was... it's great that he's getting the attention he deserves now.

@TheComicStripCast: This was so funny, thanks for putting this up! Also, if it were possible, could you put some full versions of Buster's Columbia shorts up?

[TheComicStripCast]

@MissGoldenDreams13 I'm sorry. IDK if I can... technical difficulties. But I'll try.

The name Hedley Lamar - Mel Brooks used it in "Blazing Saddles" - Brooks always said he was influenced by Buster!

[ShhhComedy]

Isn't his co-star Elsie Ames, not James?

I haven't seen this one, thanks for uploading. Buster is great :)

[TheComicStripCast]

@SilasK9098 I know. That's where I originally got this scene from. I just still haven't gotten around to buying it. It's on my must-list though. They're not great, but Buster still is wildly entertaining.
