Quote:
Keaton's first film with MGM, The Cameraman (1928), is actually one of his best, but he made it despite the rigid guidelines that MGM executives insisted he follow. They demanded a finished script with all the gags worked out in advance, while Keaton loved to improvise with whatever he found on the set. In addition, Keaton no longer took a directorial credit, even though he was still the chief creator of his films.
The Cameraman introduces us to a tintype photographer who falls in love with a pretty girl (Marceline Day) and decides that he can win her over by becoming a newsreel cameraman. The film contains Buster's famous, beautifully improvised one-man baseball game filmed at Yankee Stadium, and the classic scene with he and another man crammed into a changing booth together, both trying to climb into swim suits. Best of all is Buster's first test reel, a series of double-exposed footage that shows, among other things, a battleship floating down the street. Starting as a milquetoast and learning heroism as the film progresses, The Cameraman gave Buster one of his best roles and he filled it with one of his most touching and fleshed-out performances, using mostly his intense eyes.
