ISBN: 9780810942271.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnown 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.\nDrawing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abrams Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44638421188661,"sku":"ByrdShop_0810942275","price":147.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780810942271_43c7d485-437c-4a90-8230-f6f9ea63bac6.jpg?v=1789603693","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/buster-keaton-remembered-9780810942271","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
