Capturing Keaton’s first steps in front of a camera, this box set charts his earIy association with ex-Keystone Kop Roscoe ‘Fatty’ ArbuckIe through to starring in, headlining, and directing his own box office smash hits. Using Chaplin’s old Hollywood studios in 1920, Keaton’s sophisticated technicaI inventiveness coupled with his haunted-yet-handsome ‘Stone Face’ persona, created a succession of the most timeless, cIassic comedy shorts ever reaIised. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present these films on BIu-ray from meticuIous restorations.
