two extensive interviews with Eleanor Keaton
about her "Life with Buster"; rare
photos, including aerial pictures of the
Keaton Studio from the early 1920s; the story
of Buster's professional vaudeville debut at
the age of 5; the mystery of a missing scene
from Keaton's greatest film, The General;
reminiscences from Railrodder director Gerald
Potterton; the connection between Keaton and
the late great British comedian Marty
Feldman, who never let a day go by without
watching a Keaton movie, written by
best-selling author and Feldman collaborator
David Weddle; plus an article by renowned
film historian Kevin Brownlow on the
restoration of Keaton's 1921 short Hard Luck.
