Refrigerator's Contents..?


When Buster's roomate opens the refrigerator and takes out some items it looks as though a bald man's head is inside the refrigerator. Did anyone else see that? If so, what does it look like to you?

I didn't catch that, but I have it on tape so I will look for it.
I saw this short the other day and really just blew me away with Keaton's
inventiveness with all of the usable items, that transformed into other usable items.
We need to see more shorts from Keaton, Lloyd, Fields, Chaplin.
Many of the original prints have disintegrated or been destroyed by fire,
but there are prints out there.


OK, they have the whole short on You Tube, so it's easy to stop the thing and check it out. I don't see anything unusual in the refrig.

There IS a dark round object in the fridge, but it's definitely not a human head.

Wish someone from the production crew could tell us what that thing was. Too late though.

It might be a melon, like a honeydew. They didn't seem all that eager to close the door of the refrigerator though.

Good idea. It could even be a small watermelon.
