	Buster Keaton - MSN Encarta
		Buster Keaton (1895-1966), American motion-picture actor, director, and screenwriter, whose deadpan expressions, superb timing, acrobatic skills, and brilliantly cinematic gags made him one of the major figures of silent-film comedy.
		Born Joseph Francis Keaton in Piqua, Kansas, he was the son of touring vaudeville performers, with whom he first appeared on stage at the age of three, continuing to perform with The Three Keatons for almost 20 years.
		By the mid-1930s, as Keaton faced increasing personal problems, he could only find work in mediocre films, and by the end of the decade he was reduced to playing minor roles and carrying out writing assignments.

	Buster Keaton: The Beauty of Buster
		Keaton's comedy is founded firmly on the principles of Newtonian physics, the invisible substructure that alone keeps the universe from simply flying apart in all directions.
		From the raw material around him, Buster spontaneously creates simple makeshift contraptions that harness elemental principles of physics to keep him moving along through the maelstrom of modern life: a wheel, a lever, a crank, a ladder, a bucket, a siphon, a see-saw, a bridge, a boat, a balloon...
		As Buster is about to plummet through the chasm in the middle, two trucks pass through the gap and their tops fill up the hole just long enough for him to cross it.

	PART I: A Vaudeville Childhood
		As Buster grew old the easiest way to care for him and not interrupt the act was to take him on the stage with them, and so this was done.
		"Buster" does not give the impression of having been taught; his work is so spontaneous and so accurate that it shows him to be above the average performer of his age in intelligence and indicates that he understands the value of pause and emphasis as well or better than many a performer of mature years.
		Buster, like the rest of the world, was enthralled with Houdini's act, often watching him from the wings or even from up above in the flies to try to figure out Houdini's secrets.

		By the age of three, Keaton joined the family's vaudeville act, which was renamed The Three Keatons.
		For Keaton, as for many of the silent movie stars, the final straw was the advent of the talkies.
		The sheer ability of his acrobatics astounded audiences who had become used to less sophisticated physical comedy, and by the 1960s, his films were returning to the theaters and he was being hailed as the greatest actor of the silent era.

	Buster Keaton
		Buster was billed as “The Little Boy Who Can't Be Damaged” and Papa Joe Keaton was flinging him roughly around the stage at the age of five.
		Keaton spent a great deal of time and money to get the film exactly as he wanted it, and this care shows—it is meticulous in its period recreation.
		In Keaton's case, the trajectory of events that led him from his own unit under Schenck to a prison-term contract at MGM is especially sickening.

		Buster Keaton was born Joseph Frank Keaton, Jr.
		All of Keaton's films were produced by Joseph Schenck (pronounced "skehnk") up to 1928, and all but one of his most influential and important films were produced during this time.
		Quite deliberately Keaton grounded most of his features in reality (with some exceptions), and paced them so that they built gradually to the final reel, where most of the gags were.

		As a fan of BUSTER KEATON I have always wanted a collection of all of his works, and not just the 19 shorts and 11 feature length films he starred in during the silent era, even if they were his best.
		Keaton fans would already own all the existing silent era movies and would certainly know in a moment from reading the description and movies listed on the back that these are the later Columbia shorts.

		The Buster Keaton Collection presents three of the first films (one, The Cameraman, a near masterpiece) Keaton made for MGM beginning in 1928, an arrangement that gradually ushered the great comic actor and director into the sound era but ultimately deprived him of creative control.
		Being Keaton's first talkie the soundtrack is an essential part of the film and showcases what was to be Buster's downfall, the move away from visual to verbal gags and the transformation of his character from resourceful self-sufficiency to a hapless boob who no longer gets the girl.
		Buster Keaton didn't smile in his films; didn't laugh; didn't cry; wasn't outwardly expressive facially, but nevertheless was wonderfully transparent.

		Buster Keaton, der Mann mit dem steinernen Gesichtsausdruck, den man deshalb auch "Stoneface" nannte, entwickelte sich vom dreijährigen Wunderkind zum großen Schauspieler und Regisseur, der in der Filmgeschichte neben Charlie Chaplin und Harold Lloyd zu den unsterblichen Größen der Filmkomödie zählt.
		Den Spitznamen Buster erhielt Keaton von seinem Vater, denn bereits als krabbelndes Baby hat Keaton nicht nur den Hausstand der Familie auf den Kopf gestellt, sondern überstand auch unbeschadet einen Sturz von einer Treppe; ein richtiger "Buster" eben.
		Ein paar Jahre später heißt es schon auf den Plakatankündigungen: "Buster assisted by Joe and Myra Keaton".
