Movie Reviews of Biography: Buster Keaton
Movie Review: silent genius
Summary: 5 Stars
AMC's biography of silent film icon Buster Keaton is excellent. Keaton started as the youngest member of a family act where he was allowed to fall-down-the-stairs and get hit with the broom. He took the knocks, and was nick-named "Buster". The documentary capably reviews his incredible success, with generous clips from "The General", "The Navigator", and mnay more. Keaton's expensive self-produced productions eventually led to a career slow-down, and he was forced to join MGM. His loss of creative control led to mediocre results, an expensive divorce, and alcoholism. The documentary honestly and clearly reviews these steps in his life, with,as I said, many actual scenes from his many film appearances. Keaton hits bottom, quits drinking, and re-directs his career, returning to film and television in the 1950's and 1960's. You can see the master in small parts in "Sunset Boulevard(1950)" and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World(1962)". His few scenes in "Mad" are the work of genius. This is a professional inspection of a legendary artist.
