A series about the life, career and works of the movie comedy genius.
Covering Keaton's early years - from being a child performer in vaudeville to the creation of his masterpiece, The Navigator, in 1924.
Keaton's finest film, The General, also cost him his creative freedom. It would be thirty years before his genius was properly recognized.
The great Keaton revival began in 1949 with a tribute in Life Magazine to the silent comics. By the time Keaton died in 1966 he had been acclaimed as one of the giants of the cinema.
