#TalkieTuesday James Curtis quotes Buster Keaton, recollecting the set up for “Steamboat Bill Jr.” in his biography, Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker’s Life, available here: busterstuff.com/product/buster-keaton-a-film-makers-life/377

#TalkieTuesday Chris Wade’s book tells the story of Buster Keaton’s often overlooked later years.  Today’s quote touches on television & what better way to illustrate it than this wonderful skit with Lucille Ball in honor of his late compatriot in comedy, Stan Laurel.

#TalkieTuesday We thought we’d revisit this quote from Dana Stevens’ book, “Camera Man: Buster Keaton, the Dawn of Cinema, and the Invention of the Twentieth Century” as “Sherlock Jr” opened 98 years ago today! Get yourself a copy here: shorturl.at/cnHR2
