Ditto is a 1937 American short comedy film featuring Buster Keaton. The film's copyright was renewed in 1964, and the work will enter the public domain in 2033.[1]
Plot
Buster Keaton plays a delivery man who falls in love with one of his customers. Little does he know, though, that her twin lives right next door. The final sight gag, set in Canada fifteen years later, is a visual reference to the Dionne quintuplets, who are first-name checked on the back of camp chairs in which five supposedly identical women are sitting.
