All the films from "The Butcher Boy" in 1917
to "The Railrodder" in 1965 - they're all here with
lots of photographs and info on the films. Kline begins with about
a dozen pages of introduction giving a pretty good overview of
Keaton's life. This is followed by "Keaton: The Filmmaker
and the Face," about eight pages of commentary on Keaton's
"style." The rest of the book covers the films beginning
with credits for the production company, producer, scenario, director,
release date, length, etc. The cast is given for each film, then
Kline provides several paragraphs of synopsis/commentary on each
film. Kline does a good job, and, certainly any fan of Keaton
should have a copy of this book for reference. This large paperback
is worth the cost for the photos alone.
