The Electric House
Originally released: 1922
A short from Keaton that relies on the American love of gadgets. Buster plays a botany graduate who is mistaken for someone with a diploma in electronic engineering. He is contracted to wire the house of his college dean - but does so in the surreal way that you'd expect from Keaton, with bizarre results. He broke his leg making this movie, probably during the stunt that throws him from an electric staircase into a swimming-pool. Not a major Keaton film, but has some nice touches.
