Description

The Cameraman (MGM, 1928). Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Despite the loss of his creative independence, Buster Keaton somehow was able to make a comic masterpiece within the studio-system constrictions of MGM. This film shows Keaton at the height of his cinematic powers, with some terrific set pieces (such as his solitary baseball game at the newly built Yankee Stadium) and moments of unexpected pathos. This gorgeous lobby card is a nice medium shot of Keaton with the newsreel camera over his shoulder, with character actor Harry Gribbon, as the cop. This card is in truly superb condition with only two staple indentations in left and right border. Very Fine/Near Mint.
