Film Description
Kevin Brownlow & David Gill's informative three-part study of Keaton's comic genius is a superb tribute to one of the supreme comedians of the American silent cinema and an excellent introduction to the man's life and work.
This Emmy award-winning documentary presents Buster's remarkable story and includes rare and unpublished material that shows how he did some of his most famous stunts, interviews with his widow, Eleanor, and other people who knew him as well as a unique interview with Keaton himself.
Episode 1 covers Keaton's early years - from being a child performer in vaudeville to the creation of his masterpiece, The Navigator, in 1924; Episode 2 looks at Keaton’s finest film, The General, which also cost him his creative freedom, while episode 3 looks at the great Keaton revival, which began in 1949 with a tribute in Life Magazine to the silent comics.
