Sherlock Jr.

On the data. One film, forty-five minutes, and more ideas in it than most features. The sequence where the projectionist walks into the screen and the film cuts around him, dropping him into a different place with each edit, was achieved with surveying instruments to keep Keaton in precisely the same position in frame as the background changed. Nobody is sure how he did parts of it. During the water tower stunt he was hit by a torrent and landed on his neck. He finished the day. Years later a doctor looking at an X-ray told him he had broken a vertebra at some point. He worked out when. It was not a success in 1924 and Keaton thought little of it. The motorcycle sequence, with Keaton on the handlebars of a bike with no rider, was done for real on public roads. It runs forty-five minutes because Keaton cut everything that was not a gag.
