Silent film star Buster Keaton brings his signature humor – sweet, deadpan and impossibly athletic– to THE CAMERAMAN (1928), the story of a hapless tintype portrait photographer who upgrades to a film camera in order to impress a woman who works as a secretary for MGM Newsreels. A timeless and singular performer, Keaton was named by AFI among the greatest American screen legends – and THE CAMERMAN was, according to film historian John Bengston’s Silent Echoes, his “last great silent feature.”
