OriginalSteamboat Bill, Jr. complete movie
Reason
High EV. I cued up the very beginning of most famous scene but Keaton's amazing stunts are around 59:00 and 59:30 into the film (3 minutes after where I cued the film to start). This film is a triumph in film making and the entire film has been restored appears in good shape.

  • Comment – the quality looks good and notable film. The file source is dead. Is the copyright license tag valid? If yes, I support. Bammesk (talk) 01:48, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bammesk: I contacted the Library of Congress and a reference librarian responded: According to Film Superlist: Motion Pictures in the U.S. Public Domain, 1894-1939, STEAMBOAT BILL JR. (1928) the copyright was not renewed. The book the librarian is referencing is this one listed on Google Books. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 06:36, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
