Synopsis

"The greatest of the silent clowns is Buster Keaton, not only because of what he did, but because of how he did it." - Roger Ebert

While Chaplin’s Tramp might stand as the most immediately recognized of the silent clowns, the Great Stoneface Buster Keaton was arguably the greater technical genius behind the camera. Perfectly paced and filled with Keaton’s legendary stunts, these films are comedy at its most sublime. Our flagship product, this 11 DVD box features Keaton in his prime.

Free-standing box set contains all 10 titles from the Art of Buster Keaton series, plus bonus disc, Keaton Plus.

Free standard shipping in US and Canada.

Please note, the edition of THE GENERAL in this box set is not the same as the newly remastered ULTIMATE EDITION (link at bottom of page).
