  • The funny thing is at 0:37 where Buster Keaton is just NOT havin it. hahahaha

  • They could probably film a back-alley with rats, trash cans and homeless people in Technicolor, and being Technicolor, it would still look spectacular and glamourous.

    I assume you mean Singin in the Rain? That was just a "hindsight is 20-20" view of the transition to sound. Many of the songs in that film were actually written in the mid 1930's not the 20's. One thing they don't mention in Singin in the Rain is the sad fate of the musical stars when Hollywood stopped making musicals for a couple of years 1931-1932. By the time musicals came back in, the old musical stars were forgotten and replaced with new faces such as Dick Powell.

  • @silexrifl I think that's John Gilbert.

  • what is up with the Ark in the background?

  • So much better that the 1950's remake!

  • Actually, Keaton not singing is one time he was actually following orders. He had a well orchestrated talkie debut planned for 1930 and MGM did not want to introduce people to Buster's voice in this film at this time. Even his exotic dance in drag in the film is mute. 

  • Lmao who's the guy with the parasol

  • KEATON: "I don't wanna do this song. It's silly."

    MAYER: "I don't care what YOU think. You're under contract to this studio, and you're going to get your can on that stage and sing it with the rest of the cast!"

    KEATON: "And suppose I don't?"

    MAYER: "You'll never work in this town again."

    KEATON: (long pause, with a sad little shrug) "I can stand the rain..."

  • Considering the way Buster got treated by Louis B Mayer, I wouldn't blame him for not opening his mouth.

  • This looks somewhat primitive...well it was Technicolor, one of the earliest color-on-film systems. I saw a clip of this Technicolor scene a long time ago on a documentary about the life of Joan Crawford.

  • A TRUE classic, enjoy watching. Thank You!
