In the last of his great comedies, Buster Keaton is a portrait
photographer who decides to become a newsreel cameraman in hopes of
impressing beautiful Sally, a secretary for MGM's newsreel department.
However, his hand with a movie camera is not especially sure. He
mistakenly double exposes a reel of film that results in battleships
sailing down Broadway. His attempts to get footage of a Tong battle
are foiled by an organ grinder's monkey. Still, he's not about to give
up, and soon tries to find another way to impress his lady love. The
Cameraman is considered one of his funniest masterworks and offers up
a feast of visual gags. USA, 1928, 75 min., b/w, silent
