Steamboat Bill, Jr. Blu-ray
Buster on Blu! In the silent era, it was common practice for filmmakers to create two separate negatives of their films, each comprised of differing takes and camera angles. This edition contains both versions of Steamboat Bill, Jr.: the version from the Buster Keaton Estate version and the version from the Killiam Shows Archive, each mastered from archival 35mm materials. A must own.

Extras include:

Documentary on the making of the film
Stills gallery
"Why They Call Him Buster," a montage of pratfalls
Two vintage recordings of the folk song "Steamboat Bill"
