In 1964, Buster Keaton came to Canada to make his final silent film. It was The Railrodder, a 25 min comedic travelogue produced by the National Film Board.

NFB filmmaker Gerald Potterton had the idea of making a film about a man going across Canada in a motorized rail cart.

Keaton agreed to be in the film because he loved trains and wanted to experience riding the rails in Canada.

Production began in the late-summer of 1964, and the movie was filmed in chronological order from east to west. Keaton turned 69 during filming and did all of his own stunts.

Various towns across the country held celebrations and screenings of Keaton's films, and he was treated to dinners nearly every single day.

The film was released in October 1965. Audiences loved the film, which became a beloved classic. The NFB sold the TV and film rights to 43 international markets.

Keaton died on Feb. 1, 1966.

However bad or overlong such a film can do no wrong, so when his native twang shows through or when the boom dips into view or when her speech starts to betray its adaptation from a play, I think to when we opened cold on a starlit gutter, running gold with the neon of a drugstore sign and I’d read into its blazing line: forget the ink, the milk, the blood – all was washed clean with the flood we rose up from the falling waters the fallen rain’s own sons and daughters and none of this, none of this matters.
