A few months later when Potterton visited his star in Woodland Hills, Keaton marched him around to the corner hardware store and spent an hour showing him screws and chisels. Then, having promised to introduce his young director to Stan Laurel, they drove to Santa Monica. Laurel, jolly and smiling in his wheelchair, seemed enormously pleased to see Keaton, who began describing how he had crossed Canada from coast to coast in The Railrodder.
“And guess who directed it?”
“Who?” said Laurel.
Keaton pointed his finger at the kid sitting on the couch. “That,” he said.
“That” held a 7-Up in his hand as he listened to the two masters talk shop. “It was terrific,” Potterton recalled. “There was no sadness in either of them.”
– from Buster Keaton: Cut to the Chase by Marion Meade, p. 300. [screenshots from Buster Keaton Rides Again (1965), the documentary that shows Buster helping (and sometimes leading) the direction of Gerald Potterton on The Railrodder (1965).]
