Our Patrons voted on what silent film star we should cover and chose the great Buster Keaton! We look at three of his classic films: Sherlock Jr. (1924), The General (1926), The Cameraman (1928) and talk about the way Keaton melds comedy into various genres, hallmarks of Keaton's characters and techniques, and ways we still see his influence in modern entertainment.Skip to:Coming Attractions:Get Your Man (1927)Merrily We Go to Hell (1932)Dance, Girl, Dance (1940)For more information, visit the blog:https://thefilmlings.wordpress.com/2020/05/12/buster-keaton/Support the Show!Patreon: https://patreon.com/thefilmlingsKo-fi: https://ko-fi.com/thefilmlings
