This very Kafka-esque film is Keaton's response to the Fatty Arbuckle scandal.[citation needed] Even though the central character's intentions are good, he cannot win, no matter how inventively he tries. He gets into various scraps with police officers throughout the film. Eventually, he unwittingly throws a bomb into a police parade and ends up being chased by a horde of cops.
At the end of the film, Keaton's character locks up the cops in the police station. However, the girl he is trying to woo disapproves of his behavior and gives him the cold shoulder. Therefore, he unlocks the police station and is immediately pulled in by the cops. The film ends with the title "The End" written on a tombstone with Keaton's pork pie hat propped on it.
One of Keaton's most iconic and brilliantly-constructed short films, Cops was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry in 1997.。黛安·邓布朗斯基一直是派对的主角,也被称为“芝加哥派对阿姨”。。威利.罗素将他在英国演出大受欢迎的舞台剧《教育丽塔》亲自搬上银幕,由刘易斯.吉尔伯特导演,内容堪称八十年代片的《卖花女》。女主角丽塔是一个对日常生活感到厌烦的美发师,她决定要增加自己在文学上的知识。在命运的安排下,她成了弗兰克教授的学生。他是一个从幻想中清醒过来的酒鬼,与丽塔彼此从对方身上学到了生活的真谛。编导以轻松有趣的手法来处理男女主角之间别致的人际关系,迈克尔.凯恩与茱莉.沃尔特斯也演出精彩,双获英国影艺学院及金球奖的最佳男女主角奖。。
