This Day in Buster…May 1, 1928  

Buster Keaton officially begins filming “The Cameraman” for MGM.  Note the crowds on the New York streets in this candid footage filmed in early April - they conveniently prevented Buster from filming the scenes as written which gave him reason enough to scrap the script & do it his way

#MovieMonday “The Cameraman,” 1928 was Buster Keaton’s first film with MGM.  There was a script, but he was able to make the film as he saw fit which did not involve much of the original screenplay.  MGM used Buster’s film as an example of how to write a romantic comedy for decades afterwards.

Changing room banter in ‘The Cameraman’, 1928 between Buster Keaton & Ed Brophy #SilentSubtitles - this was a tough one to lip read, not least because of the many distractions ;)
