Here is the story of Joseph Frank "Buster" Keaton, the director, producer, writer and star-the sad-faced little man who was one of the prime masters of silent film comedy. The book includes hilarious accounts of the filming-usually without script-of some of his now-classic films and more the 100 photographs.
