A rising star who rose from bit player to writer, director, and star of comedies for Mack Sennett's Keystone Film Company, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle recruited up-and-coming vaudeville comic Buster Keaton for a series of films from 1917 through 1919. Presented chronologically, these shorts demonstrate Keaton's evolution from bit player to full partner as both men honed their comedic skills. Following the 1921 scandal that was inflamed by a publicity-seeking prosecutor and the tabloid press, Arbuckle's films were withdrawn from circulation in America. The films in this collection were gathered from international archives and private collections, with new English intertitles and digitally mastered from 35mm, some directly from the nitrate originals.
@TheBookWorm1718: I think Buster was the only man who ever lived who could look sexy in overalls.

Oh my God, Buster looked SO cute here, I think this was the ONLY time we saw him in overalls, seems every episode after that he wore dress pants, a white shirt and suspenders.

Or involved with PETA. Some people can't see beyond that type of stuff for the real humour in something.
