This Day in Buster… March 26, 1937… “Love Nest on Wheels” is released by Educational Pictures. The short borrowed heavily from the Comique classic, “The Bell Boy,” including the elevator scene, which Buster Keaton had reworked a little rather than have it be completely identical to the original.

This Day in Buster…March 28, 1931 The Indianapolis Times reviews “Parlor, Bedroom & Bath,” imparting that Buster Keaton received a black eye whilst filming the final chase scenes. We have a feeling that it didn’t make the cut.

This Day in Buster…March 14, 1921 "Hard Luck,” is released. Buster Keaton rated this impossible gag from his shorts as one of his best. He was still laughing about it in the 1960s.

This Day in Buster…February 10, 1921 "The Haunted House" is released. Although quite a bit of business at the beginning of the short takes place in a bank, it ends up in ghosties & spectres & ghouls, oh my!

This Day in Buster…March 1, 1926 “Seven Chances,” with the title "Siete ocasiones,” opens in Spain.

Movie Monday - “Beach Blanket Bingo,” 1965, is the second of four Beach Movies Buster Keaton made near the end of his career. They might not be high art or cinematic genius, but nonetheless, Buster had fun!
