The Scarecrow (1920 film) - Directed by Edward F. Cline, Buster Keaton - Full Movie

Two inventive farmhands compete for the hand of the same girl.

The Scarecrow is a 1920 American two-reel silent comedy film starring Buster Keaton and written and directed by Keaton and Edward F. Cline. It runs 19 minutes. One of its more memorable scenes is the opening, where Buster and Joe Roberts share a small one-room house filled with space- and labor-saving Rube Goldberg-type devices. Later, Keaton tries desperately and comically to outrun and escape Luke the Dog.
