45m
Directed by Buster Keaton • 1924 • United States
Starring Buster Keaton, Kathryn McGuire, Joe Keaton
Reality and movie fantasy merge to brilliantly surreal effect in one of Buster Keaton’s most formally innovative features—a whirlwind of astonishing optical tricks and meta-cinematic invention. He plays a lovelorn projectionist who daydreams himself into the movies he is showing—at one point literally walking through the screen and into the film! While dreaming he is Arthur Conan Doyle’s master detective, our hero snoops out brilliant discoveries while trying to rescue the girl he loves.
