由美国帕洛玛影片公司出品，导演悉尼．波拉克。三十年代初，正值美国经济大萧条时期，洛基为好莱坞举办百对舞蹈选手马拉松大赛，在这些选手中，每个人的目的不同，有的为了赚钱，有的为了能上电影，有的则感到无聊才来参赛。几个星期过去了，几对主要竞争者都遇到了不同的意外问题…… 影片以写实的手法，通过反映各色人物的心理，表现出美国社会存在的矛盾。纵观整个影片，情节安排、技巧处理、演员的表演都算是出色的，曾获第42届（1969）最佳导演等9项提名，结果只获得最佳男配角1项金像奖。。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.。
