Buster Keaton Remembered
Buster Keaton Remembered | Eleanor Keaton, Jeffrey Vance
1 post
Known for his legendary "stone face" and incredible physical gags, Buster Keaton (1895-1966) was a genius of silent-film comedy. Decades after their release, his movies remain unsurpassed marvels of comic invention and mechanical timing. In Buster Keaton Remembered, a unique illustrated survey of Keaton's career, Eleanor Keaton, his wife of 26 years, and film historian Jeffrey Vance provide a personal account of this icon of American cinema.Drawing on professional papers, screenplays, studio records, and scrapbooks, the authors trace Keaton's beginnings in vaudeville, where he perfected his gags; his first silent shorts with Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle; the brilliant features he conceived, directed, produced, and performed in; and his later sound films for M-G-M and others. Fresh prints of classic film stills and never-before-published photos from the Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, together with a lively, anecdotal text, offer a behind-the-scenes look at how Keaton came up with his hilarious ideas, choreographed his elaborate stunts, and crafted his films.

It's not every day that a new bookstore opens in your town - in fact, we haven't had one in about 25 years! The bookish folk here are all very excited. I'm planning to check it out on Saturday and probably give it a little financial support 😊❤📚 #bookstore

Leftcoastzen What a cool name for a store! Loving the Deco letters! 3y
TiredLibrarian @Leftcoastzen It's in an arts district about 2 doors down from the Capitol Theatre, originally built in the 1920s and undergoing renovations. The owner's obviously a film buff and it's a great fit for the area. 📽🎞❤ 3y
