I went home early (before 10!) and watched Buster Keaton in College. As in all those old Buster Keaton silent movies, he's trying to win the beautiful girl. This time he does it through sports, with some fantastic efforts on the baseball and track fields.
He was so wonderful. If you've never seen one of his movies, by all means make the time and watch. He was, if anything, even more talented than Charlie Chaplin.
If you want to see him in a talkie, check out A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. He has a cameo in it, and steals any scene he's in -- even from Zero Mostel!
Did you know one Buster Keaton's offspring was in a show I danced in? Can't even remember now if it was a man or a woman.
