From 1917 to 1919, Joseph Schenck produced a series of Comique
comedies starring master movie comedian Roscoe ?Fatty? Arbuckle and
featuring an apprentice, Joseph Frank ?Buster? Keaton. These films
were initially deemed significant by modern archivists for
representing the first movie appearances of Keaton, widely
considered one of the most important figures in motion picture
history. But the Comique films also remain the most important of
Arbuckle's career because they feature him at the height of his
cinematic genius. The 14 short comedies starring Arbuckle and
Keaton are analyzed in this book. After two chapters of
biographical introductions, the rest of the book discusses their
collaborative efforts and reveals the way in which the films
evolved from Arbuckle's wild slapstick to feature more of the
subtlety and cleverness of Keaton. Closing sections discuss what
became of Arbuckle and Keaton afterward, commenting significantly
on the scandal that undermined Arbuckle's career.
