Buster Keaton.
The final work over which he maintained creative control, this clever farce is the culmination of an extraordinary, decade-long run that produced some of the most innovative and enduring comedies of all time. Keaton plays a hapless newsreel cameraman desperate to impress both his new employer and his winsome office crush as he zigzags up and down Manhattan hustling for a scoop.
DVD, full screen (1.33:1).
COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Good silent picture
submitted by brooksza on August 15, 2022, 11:10am
I like the way the camera becomes a character in this movie. Sometimes it creates problems and sometimes it solves them.
The Yankee Stadium scene and the pool scenes were standouts. Music hit perfectly as sound effects throughout.
