As well as improvising and sketching out rough motifs for their bands to work from, composers/musicians would often drop in well known tunes of the day when accompanying films. We have chosen to use two -can you spot them? (scroll down for answers)

The panic over the railway tracks is the most animated I've ever seen Buster Keaton. He was known as the Great Stoneface. Nothing ever fazed him.
