Most theaters and museums when assembling a tribute to the artistry and comedy of Buster Keaton, focus on the work he did in the silent area, usually between the period of 1920 through 1929. However, Keaton had a lengthy and active film career that spanned 48 years. So active was Keaton that he worked nearly up until the very end of his life and that the last two films he appeared in were released after his death in February 1966.
While Roxie's program does pay tribute to some of his greatest comedies of the 20's, we're also spotlighting select films he made in the 1930's and beyond, including examples of some of the TV commercials he appeared in during the 1950's as well as a very funny television appearance he made in the 60's.
This is a show for both experienced and newcomers to Buster Keaton which offers a larger scope of work done by "The Great Stone Face."
Films include: One Week, Cops, The Playhouse, Grand-Slam Opera, a selection of TV commercial he appeared in in the 1950's, one of his television appearances from the 60's ...and MORE!
