Buster Keaton - Station Wagon Brigade - Jan 1942

Postby Ed Watz » Fri Apr 03, 2026 2:21 pm

Along with other military veterans and volunteers, Buster Keaton became part of the Station Wagon Brigade, created to assist in the evacuation of civilians in the event of an attack on the California coast. We briefly see Buster “directing” the setup. Cesar Romero proves to be Buster’s best audience.

Great clip Ed, thanks for posting. More proof that Buster did his part in World War II, of course he also volunteered at the Hollywood Canteen.
