I guess in the 50's Buster would do just about anything for a paycheck. And this is an example.
I love Keaton. He truly was a cinematic genius. This short is horrible. Even if you are a die-hard Keaton fan, you cannot llike this show.
It appears to have been made specifically as a commercial for Studebaker car dealers of Los Angeles and shown only on local TV. The problem is Studebaker is more important than Buster in this show. In fact, it's not enough to show the car every 5 minutes, throughout Buster's acts an announcer spoils the action by incessently talking about Studebaker!
Plus the scenes arent even that good. Keaton is slow and I'm not sure if he was drinking or not but he sure is off his game.
There is also a cringe worthy scene where Buster literally mauls a tall big busted woman named Dona. He touches her in places not meant to be touched on 1950's TV! How that got thru the censors is a mystery.
Stick with Buster real works, not this horrible ad for a car.
