Come join us for a Historic Silent Era Film The Cameraman starring Buster Keaton!
Released in 1928, this film is a romantic comedy directed by Edward Sedgwick and an uncredited Buster Keaton. The picture stars Keaton and Marceline Day.
Keaton plays a sidewalk tintype portrait photographer in New York City who develops a crush on Sally, a secretary who works for MGM Newsreels. To be near her, he purchases an old film camera, emptying his bank account, and attempts to get a job as one of MGM's cameramen. Harold, an MGM cameraman who has designs on Sally himself, mocks his ambition.
It was Keaton's first film under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The following year, however, MGM refused to let Keaton continue with creative control over his pictures, causing lasting damage to his career from which Keaton never really recovered. Keaton later referred to his move to MGM as "the worst mistake of my career."
The film is considered by fans and critics to be one of Keaton's best, and was added to the National Film Registry in 2005 as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
