3.0 out of 5 stars
You know you're Somebody when A&E profiles you,
This review is from: Biography - Buster Keaton [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Like other A&E Biographies, this short, sweet documentary about the great Stone Face is more flattering than fascinating. The narrative touches on all the usual stories of Buster Keaton's remarkable life and career - from the childhood spill that got him his name to the crazy pratfalls that made him a silent star - but glosses over his all too human shortcomings. (I'm always impressed by how A&E manages to make problems like alcoholism and depression seem shallow and easily surmountable.) But these are small complaints; with a subject like Buster, even this generic treatment is enjoyable. Well worth the watch for casual fans and serious scholars alike, but if you want to get the most for your pennies buy the wonderful, in-depth BBC set Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow, and tape this A&E Bio from the t.v. Damfino!
