The Scribe

The Scribe

"The Scribe" is a 1966 short comedy film directed by John Sebert and produced by the Construction Safety Association of Ontario, Canada. It demonstrates the do's and don'ts of construction site safety.

The film is the last professionally filmed footage of film legend Buster Keaton shot months before his death from lung cancer on February 1 1966. He recreates several routines from his youth, as well as some new material for the film. Most notable was his recreation of a gag from his 1918 film "The Bell Boy" in which he mops the floor using only the tip of the mop, little by little while sitting on the floor.

Keaton reportedly was taken to the set in a wheelchair, using an oxygen tank to breathe. fact|date=May 2007
