The Butcher Boy<\/em> is a silent comedy from 1917, written, and directed by Fatty Arbuckle, and starring Fatty Arbuckle, too, as well as Alice Lake, Buster Keaton, and Fatty Arbuckle’s amazing dog, Luke. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love Luke.<\/p>\n

Anyway the film’s in two parts. The first part is set in the butcher’s shop where Fatty Arbuckle works, while the second part involves Fatty Arbuckle dressing up as a girl so he can break into a boarding school for girls and marry a girl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second part has more Luke but less jokes. The first part has less Luke but more jokes. I could not tell you which I prefer.<\/p>\n

Notes<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> I watched this on blu-ray, in this excellent collection of Buster Keaton films<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> But there’s plenty of version available on youtube or wherever. I captured the above screenshots from this slightly shoddy version<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>This was Buster Keaton’s film debut, which explains why it’s in the Buster Keaton boxset and not a Fatty Arbuckle boxset, I suppose.<\/em><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Anyway, I’m going to watch one of these every day during December.<\/em><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> I hope that’s okay.<\/em><\/p>\n
