艾丹·吉伦又接新戏,将在BBC传记题材剧集《戴夫·艾伦》(Dave Allen At Peace,暂译)中饰演爱尔兰喜剧演员戴夫·艾伦。该剧将由斯蒂芬·拉塞尔(《浴血黑帮》)编剧。戴夫·艾伦代表作是1972-1986年BBC播出的《戴夫·艾伦脱口秀》。新剧将聚焦他近40年的演艺生涯,包括他如何因信仰备受争议。。旨在呼吁有权处理食源性病原体危害的官员采取行动,这些病原体每年在美国造成数千人死亡。。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.。
