Buster Keaton's Sherlock Jr focuses on a classic by one of
America's greatest silent film geniuses whose films still delight
and amaze audiences worldwide. Written specially for this edition,
the essays included in this volume examine this film within the
context of Keaton's career, and also offer interesting perspectives
on its unusual production history, Keaton's vaudeville background
and the differing views of 'masculinity' which both celebrate and
poke fun at cinema itself, among other topics. Also included is a
complete filmography of Keaton's works and contemporary reviews of
Sherlock Jr.
