Reviews
Early film icon Buster Keaton, with masterpieces such as Sherlock, Jr. and The General, ranks alongside Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd in the pantheon of silent film comic geniuses. It is these feature-length films that get most of the attention from film scholars and film students alike, while his short films--in which he learned and honed his craft--tend to be largely overlooked. In their film-by-film assessment of Keaton's short films between the years 1920 and 1923, authors Neibaur (The Silent Films of Harry Langdon: 1923-1928) and Niemi (Neibaur's researcher on previous books) take readers through Keaton's burgeoning film career with a delightful mix of insight, history, criticism, and a witty writing style.Verdict: This isn't the average scholarly exploration on a very narrow topic that few will be interested in; instead, it peels back the decades and brings a fresh perspective to the often underexplored films of one of cinema's great masters. This book will find readers across academia and the general public, which is an accomplishment indeed., Early film icon Buster Keaton, with masterpieces such as Sherlock, Jr. and The General, ranks alongside Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd in the pantheon of silent film comic geniuses.

Neibaur, has written an earlier book about Buster Keaton (1895-1966), The Fall on Buster Keaton (Scarecrow, 2010), which deals with Keaton's career in talking pictures. Even before he carved out an important place in silent film history with such full-length classics as The General (1926) and Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928), Keaton starred in 19 two-reelers released between 1920 and 1923. Beginning with The High Sign (1920) and continuing with such titles as One Week (1920), The Haunted House (1921), The Playhouse (1921), and The Frozen North (1922), the series ends with The Love Nest (1923). This volume describes thoroughly each of these films with a detailed (practically frame-by-frame) plot summary plus an evaluative analysis of the film, material on film techniques utilized, and reasons for the film's importance. Background information on production details, audience reception, and a present-day evaluation of the film are also included. The material on each film is preceded by a brief table of basic information like releasing company, film credits (e.g., producers, cinematographers), and a cast list. Coverage for each film averages 10 pages. Throughout the text there are many black-and-white stills from the films and reproductions of movie posters. The book's introduction and epilogue briefly cover Keaton's career before and after the making of these short films. There is also a brief bibliography (although where the author found the wealth of material for this book is not divulged) and a four-page index (mostly names of cast members). This is a fascinating book that covers a little-known segment of film industry. One wishes that a DVD of these films could have been included with the book. This work is recommended for large media collections., The authors are precise and sharp . . . taking the films and analyzing the complexity and creativity of the stunts. The purpose is not a biography per se; however, a biography emerges from the films, which the authors masterfully unearth--through his work we find the artist. The uniqueness of Keaton is celebrated; his wry and pessimistic comedy is a wonder, an interest that Neibaur and Niemi share as they execute a balanced account of Keaton's important nineteen short films., Early film icon Buster Keaton, with masterpieces such as Sherlock, Jr. and The General, ranks alongside Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd in the pantheon of silent film comic geniuses. It is these feature-length films that get most of the attention from film scholars and film students alike, while his short films--in which he learned and honed his craft--tend to be largely overlooked.
