From his bedroom window, Buster Keaton pitches woo across the backyard to his neighbor and fellow tenement-dweller, Virginia Fox, despite their feuding families' disapproval.

Cline, Buster Keaton; PROD Joseph M. Schenck. U.S. 1920, b&w, 18 min. NOT RATED

THE HIGH SIGN (1921)
Co-directed with Edward F. Cline, THE HIGH SIGN was the first of Buster Keaton's post-Arbuckle-partnership starring roles, although, not thinking the result quite good enough for his exacting standards, Keaton shelved the film for a year and released the later-produced ONE WEEK first. Showing off while working as a shooting gallery attendant in an amusement park, Keaton's (faked) expert marksmanship gets him recruited by both the Blinking Buzzards gang and the rival they want whacked. A chase through the fun house provides the capper to this zany, occasionally surreal comedy. DIR/SCR Edward F. Cline, Buster Keaton; PROD Joseph M. Schenck. U.S., 1921, b&w, 20 min. NOT RATED

Cline, Buster Keaton; PROD Joseph M. Schenck. U.S. 1922, b&w, 18 min. NOT RATED
