Auction History Result 3y1479 RAILRODDER 8x10 still 1965 Buster Keaton hitchhiking on railroad, last movie he directed! Date Sold 3/14/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Railrodder, the 1965 Buster Keaton, John Spotton & Gerald Potterton Canadian silent locomotive railroad comedy short (about an elderly Englishman who reads a newspaper ad in the London Times extolling the virtues of touring Canada, and he literally walks across the Atlantic Ocean and then travels across Canada on the Canadian National Railway on a motorcar!) starring Buster Keaton (as the Man). Note that Keaton was the only actor in this movie, and it was his final movie as director! This was a production of the Canadian National Railway, designed to gain them more customers. Obviously, someone with the railway was a big Buster Keaton fan, and this was a tribute to his early silent classics, which included several railroad sequences, which he paid homage to in this short. We don't know what movie paper, if any, was created for this (we have seen 8x10 stills that may be Canadian, but no posters or lobby cards). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that movie paper of any kind from this Buster Keaton movie is extremely rare! We have only previously auctioned three stills from this short, and one of those three has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still only one of three items we have ever auctioned! It may well be a Canadian still (the back has "This scene is from a NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA production:" stamped on it, and someone wrote in the title of the movie, and this was likely done with Canadian stills for Canadian movies). If anyone knows more about this still, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
