True to Keaton&#8217;s genre, the film is full of sight gags as our protagonist putt-putts his way to British Columbia. Not a word is spoken throughout, and Keaton is as spry and ingenious at fetching laughs as he was in the old days of the silent slapsticks. <\/p>\n<p>Directed by Gerald Potterton &#8211; 1965<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-21-at-10-35-35-The-Railrodder-1965-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-21-at-10-35-35-The-Railrodder-1965-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-75104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-21-at-10-35-35-The-Railrodder-1965-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-21-at-10-35-35-The-Railrodder-1965-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-21-at-10-35-35-The-Railrodder-1965-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Screenshot-2022-07-21-at-10-35-35-The-Railrodder-1965-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFB Published 15 May 2015 This short film from director Gerald Potterton (Heavy Metal) stars Buster Keaton in one of the last films of his long career.
