This was the first Buster Keaton film I've ever seen. Won't be the last.As with Jack Pickford, I have spent hours looking at photographs of this actor but when I saw him in action, that's when it all opened up for me.
That man could move like no one else ! He was like the wildest cartoon character on speed.
I could watch this bit all day long.
right before the best trick.*
Directed by Mr Keaton himself, with Malcolm St. Clair
My #1 favorite performer ever. Poetry in motion, to use a cliched phrase. :P Ever seen "College"? All of his athletic ability is on display.

ReplyDeleteBut I'll put College on my "to watch" list.
Thank you for the recommendation, I appreciate it.
