Buster Keaton is the name of an American actor who appears in Beckett's "Film." Buster Keaton puts burlesque that belongs in the small form directly into the large form as he does in opening "Our Hospitality" and "Steamboat Bill Junior" with a cyclone. Keaton uses a large gap to reflect comic action. For example in his "trajectory gag" of "The Three Ages" the hero escapes, seizes a shield, runs up the stairs, jumps on a horse, leaps through a window, brings down the house and carries off the girl amidst other heroic action.
