1928 – silent • Buster Keaton
• Live Accompaniment by Mark Herman on the Mighty Wurlitzer •
Buster Keaton was one of the great comic geniuses of the 1920s, and a prolific filmmaker. For
anyone who has never seen a silent movie, this film is a great place to start. It was a huge hit
with audiences when it was released in 1928, and it’s just as hilarious today. It’s a thoroughly
enjoyable movie packed with clever gags. A Keaton classic!
