The Railrodder is a 1965 short comedy film released by the
National Film Board of Canada, starring Buster Keaton in one of his
final film roles. A 25 minute comedic travelogue of Canada, it was also
his last silent film as it contains no dialogue and all sound effects
are overdubbed. Concurrent with the production of this film, the
National Film Board produced a documentary entitled
Buster Keaton Rides Again which combines behind-the-scenes footage of the making of
The Railrodder,
including sequences showing Keaton and the director discussing (and
occasionally arguing over) gags in the film, with retrospective footage
of Keaton’s Hollywood career. These two films are among his last great
works and reflect the Canadian connection of his final years. Running
time of 55 minutes.
