Free Culture Movies to Watch During #COVID19: SEVEN CHANCES
After we rewatched my “The Bachelor” DVD the other night, I noticed in the end credits it had been based on a Buster Keaton movie called “Seven Chances” that I had never heard of. So I went looking, and here it is. The opening sequence was a test filmed in Technicolor. Clearly the print color hasn’t held up. Apparently its been restored; this isn’t that version, however. I can only find the trailer online and its entirely sepia tone.
This Buster Keaton short (hour long) is a comedic masterpiece!
Nobody did physical comedy like Buster.

(my favourite) Silent Film Star Buster Keaton plays a world traveller in this NFB (Government of Canada) short film.
Arriving from across the pond, the Railrodder arrives on Lawrencetown Beach, Nova Scotia from where he embarks on the scenic route across Canada by train…
well, sort of.
Produced by the National Film Board of Canada.
Directed by Gerald Potterton & Buster Keaton (uncredited)

Starring Buster Keaton
As this was financed by the Government of Canada, it would presumably been made under Crown Copyright, which expires after 50 years, which would have expired in 2015, so I believe it is in the Public Domain. BUT sometimes the Government does weird things with Copyright so I can’t swear to it.
