Buster Keaton’s “The Cameraman,” released September 22, 1928, was a lost film for many years. A print was finally located in Paris, in 1968, and another in 1991. This is especially ironic, since during the height of the studio era MGM frequently screened it for their producers and directors as an example of a perfect comedy. We are indebted once again to Joanna Ramos for this wonderful video tribute. The music is “Be My Baby" by the Ronettes. Keaton's costar is Marceline Day. In honor of the first International Silent Movie Day (September 29, 2021), on Monday, September 27 at 7:30 p.m. we will team with Flicker Alley and Blackhawk Films to present a free webcast of the Douglas Fairbanks classic, "The Mark of Zorro" (1920), with a brand new score by our own Cliff Retallick, and a special introduction by Tracey Goessel, author of The First King of Hollywood: The Life of Douglas Fairbanks! See our Calendar page for details. |
