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.

@WSenator1 Not quite...the story for "The Cameraman" was his idea. MGM was temporarily smart enough to allow him to edit their script and film it back in Los Angeles (after he begged them enough). It was after this film that they inexplicably denied him any further creative control...fortunately, if "The Cameraman" was the final Keaton film of sorts, then what a heck of a great finale it was. Rest assured that you are watching Keaton, not MGM.

@suemai1 I discovered Buster Keaton this year on TCM one late night, laughed my ass off, wondered how back then he did some of his film tricks, but just enjoyed the simple, silly skits he did. God bless,him. so sad he had such bad luck in Hollywood after his success in silent films. he deserved better!

Gran cómico y gran artista,me encanta su expresividad!!!

OMG this is great! This was one of Buster's favorite films. The 'blank pan' as he called it, is on full display here. Love the little kick to his opponent. Isn't he gorgeous here, and so wonderfully clueless? Love ya, Buster. I hope you're jumping over everything in heaven. And 'mascotofageneration', you're never too young to like this- I discovered Buster when I was in college and have LOVED him ever since. Thanks for posting!!
