Buster Keaton’s primate co-star was Josephine the Monkey, who was a popular animal actor in comedies of the 1920s. She most notably was in films made by fellow #SilentFilm greats Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Laurel & Hardy!

The iconic “Dressing Room Scene” (youtu.be/X6D6iZ6B5uY?...) marked not only one of the films funniest moments but it was also the film debut of Edward Brophy

The current restoration comes from prints found in Paris & a copy found in 1991. Additionally, one reel was removed from the film by MGM some time in the 1950s and the current prints have a noticeable 3ish mins or so missing as well.

Despite “The Cameraman” (1928) being used for years by MGM as an example of the perfect comedy the film was almost lost forever b/c the ONLY COPY was destroyed in the 1965 MGM vault fire.

“The Cameraman” (1928) is considered one of Buster Keaton’s best films. While the directing credit goes to longtime MGM-era Keaton collaborator Edward Sedgwick, it’s known that Keaton was essentially the film’s co-director

“3 Bad Men”(1926) is considered an influence on Japanese director Akira Kurosawa’s “Three Bad Men in a Hidden Fortress”(1958)🇯🇵which in turn inspired George Lucas’s “Star Wars” series

Olive Borden AKA “The Joy Girl” began her career as a one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars of 1925. She would go on to act in approximately 65 films over the course of her 10yr film career.

Yeah… sorry about the use of racial slurs and cross burning and such in this. For all of the very good and cool things about this being a western from 1925, it’s still a western from 1925.

Compared to a lot of other John Ford westerns, this one really stands out to me b/c of the humorous parts
