My Wonderful World Of Slapstick por Buster Keaton

Fantastic book by a fine human being. Gives me hope in humanity.
I seldom cry from what I read in a book, but the following from Buster Keaton was so beautiful, I couldn't help but tear up.

"There was a day in 1950 when we arrived in Genoa where Eleanor and I were to start a twelve-week musical-comedy tour in Italian theaters.

Three Ages por Buster Keaton

A film starring Buster Keaton and Margaret Leahy (Metro Pictures, 1923).

Buster tries to win a girl in different historical eras.

2/4 (Indifferent).

It's a premise that requires 3x the time spent on story - not a good choice for a Buster Keaton movie.
