Interesting facts
The Electric House is a 1922 American short comedy film co-directed by and starring Buster Keaton.
Production
During the original scheduled shooting of the film in 1920, Keaton suffered a broken ankle filming a sequence with the electric staircase. The project was shelved, and then re-done entirely. The known version today is actually the second version filmed; no copies of the original footage from 1920 are known to exist.
