About This Movie
The Butcher Boy is a 1917 silent comedy featuring a playful interaction between customers and clerks in a general store. Directed by Comique Film Company and distributed by Paramount Pictures, it marks Buster Keaton's film debut.
'The Butcher Boy' is quite a rarity among silent comedies, with only a handful of prints still circulating. Collectors often seek out original releases, as the film’s unique charm and the early collaboration between Arbuckle and Keaton give it a distinct place in film history. Formats like 16mm and 35mm can be challenging to find, and the scarcity adds a nice layer of intrigue for anyone compiling an extensive silent film collection.
