The Cameraman (1928)Directed by Edward Sedgwick, not rated, 67 minutes
The Cameraman is a charming and inspiring silent comedy about a poor photographer who, after falling in love with an MGM employee, trades in his tintype camera for a film camera to record newsreels. Buster Keaton always provides hardy laughs and incredible stunts, and here he's extremely lovable as he desperately tries to woo this girl. There are plenty of memorable gags, but in the middle of the movie he comes into the possession of a monkey who gives probably the best animal performance ever, and plays off hilariously with Keaton.
In The Cameraman, Buster Keaton wraps you up in the terrific story and keeps you enthralled until the amazing and beautiful ending. You'll like it if: You like silent comedies, romantic comedies, Buster Keaton, Sherlock Jr., The Kid or Safety Last!
