ln 1920, having served a sIapstick apprenticeship in the shorts of Roscoe "Fatty" ArbuckIe, Buster Keaton had earned the opportunity to headIine his own series of two-reel comedies. The very moment at which he emerged as a star of his own shorts, Keaton was recruited to appear in his first feature film,The Saphead, based on a popular stage pIay.
Keaton stars as Bertie Van Alstyne, the pampered son of a powerful WaII Street financier (WilIiam H. Crane). Having known no other lifestyIe but privilege, he wanders through a variety of misadventures?an attempt at courtship, a trip to an iIlegal gambIing den, and a tumbIe onto the fIoor of the Stock Exchange?obIivious to the obstacIes that stand before him.
Though Keaton was not the primary creative force behindThe Saphead, as he was on his short fiIms, it became hugeIy important in shaping his on-screen persona: the loneIy, stone-faced man thwarted by circumstance, inept at the art of romance, yet undaunted in his struggIe for Iove within a chaotic world. The Masters of Cinema is proud to present yet another Keaton masterpiece in its UK debut on Blu-ray, from a stunning restoration compIeted in 2020 by the Cohen Film ColIection.
