Chronicles the rapid growth in the filmmaker’s understanding of what makes both comedy and film successful. Keaton developed his major themes in these nineteen silent short films shot between 1920 and 1923, creating his persona “Buster” with his trademark stone face. It analyzes each film’s strengths, weaknesses, and prevalent themes and threads, and enables readers to plumb the depths of what seems to be surface comedy through philosophical, biographical, historical, and critical commentary.
