Keaton and Arbuckle: The Hayseed and Back Stage Unclassified 18+

Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle's The Hayseed (1919, 18mins) and Back Stage (1919, 18mins) are just two of more than a dozen films Buster Keaton made as an "apprentice" to Arbuckle between 1917 and 1919, at the very beginning of his illustrious screen career.

In one of the last great screwball comedies, Sturges' all-star cast is taken through mounting heights of absurdity in this comedy of mistaken identities.

Directed by Mitchell Leisen from a screenplay by Preston Sturges, Remember the Night conveys the sentimental gleam of new-found love but goes beyond the hide-bound conventions of romantic comedy.
