does anyone know which buster keaton featured him being chased by a cop and the cop looks under a basket and finds kittens?

@GarySpatzScam That's his short film The Neighbours.

Some of those scenes make it look like Buster was the world's first breakdancer!

The man was a genius. He turned falling down into an art form.

@drmoonrat Composed by the great Carl Davis.

1:16 wasn't Seven Chances. I just watched that and it's not in there. Is it perhaps Three Ages?

What A Legend!

@drmoonrat It was composed by Carl Davis and is called "The Stoic--Buster Keaton's Rag", on the "Hollywood" soundtrack. Recorded as an LP that can be found on eBay, it would be terrific to have the score released on cd.
