Keaton had no stuntman in this epic romp into physical comedy with depth and feeling as relevant to today as when it was released. A benchmark most filmmakers will never equal, and no other actor will ever accomplish.

The cameraman in is about an inept "cameraman" (if you can even call him that) who desperately wants a job he clearly can not do for a girl who is clearly way out of his league. One star
