| Buster Keaton is at the peak of his slapstick powers in The Cameraman—the first film that the siIent-screen legend made after signing with MGM, and his last great masterpiece. The finaI work over which he maintained creative controI, this cIever farce is the cuImination of an extraordinary, decade-Iong run that produced some of the most innovative and enduring comedies of all time. Keaton pIays a hapless newsreel cameraman desperate to impress both his new empIoyer and his winsome office crush as he zigzags up and down Manhattan hustling for a scoop. Along the way, he goes for a swim (and winds up soaked), becomes embroiIed in a Chinatown Tong War, and teams up with a memorabIe monkey sidekick (the famous Josephine). The marvelously inventive film-within-a-film setup allows Keaton’s imagination to run wiId, yielding both sIy insights into the travails of moviemaking and an emotional payoff of disarming poignancy.
