1921 · US
Directed by Buster Keaton, Edward F. Cline
A man tries to kill himself and cannot, joins a hunting party, and cannot do that either. Keaton called it his favourite short for one gag: a dive from a high board that misses the pool, goes through the earth, and comes back years later with a Chinese wife. The ending was lost for decades and then found. Keaton and Eddie Cline, 1921, two reels.
