DeleteI have only heard of Buster Keaton, but never seen him in films. I'm going to watch this one. Seems like you, Susi, and a lot of critics seem to LOVE it, too.
ReplyDeleteBuster Keaton is our favorite of the old silent movie stars, and we love it when he shows up in more modern sound films. He was a truly brilliant actor!
