À propos de ce film

Oscar-honoree Buster Keaton ("The General") stars in this silent comedy about a photographer who takes up newsreel shooting to impress a beautiful office worker, played by Marceline Day ("The Telegraph Trail"). After several attempts to impress the movie queen, Keaton's character finds himself in the middle of a major news story. Remade in 1951 as "Watch the Birdie," starring Red Skelton.

Notes et avis

Keaton had no stuntman in this epic romp into physical comedy with depth and feeling as relevant to today as when it was released. A benchmark most filmmakers will never equal, and no other actor will ever accomplish.

The cameraman in is about an inept "cameraman" (if you can even call him that) who desperately wants a job he clearly can not do for a girl who is clearly way out of his league. One star

This movie made me love Buster Keaton and silent films!
