From the destruction of a railroad bridge―with a train on top―in The General (1926) to the collapse of a house around his ears in Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928), Buster Keaton went to great lengths to entertain his public. While his characters walked away stone-faced and unharmed, the actor often suffered serious injury. In his fourth feature-length film, Sherlock Jr. (1924), he plays a projectionist who falls asleep and dreams he’s the star of a movie about a “crime-crushing” detective. The scenario, with its nonstop string of stage gags and illusions, allowed Keaton to perform some of his most impressive stunts, one of which nearly cost him his life.

Sherlock Jr. (1924) is stone-faced director/producer Buster Keaton's marvelously inventive, short silent film era, comic fantasy - his third and shortest feature film (after a series of two-reel shorts in the early 1920s). It was filled with the comedian's trademark physical gags, intricately-choreographed and acrobatic vaudeville stunts, visually-witty humor and amazing special effects (an explosive billiard ball, a trap door, etc.). This spoof of detective films was the first of Keaton's feature films solely directed by himself, after his co-director stints in Three Ages (1923) and Our Hospitality (1923). It was a remarkably proficient and well-edited technical film with considerable 'movie magic,' demonstrating some early, innovative in-camera tricks (such as jump-cuts, super-imposition or double-exposure).
