THE CAMERAMAN

In a film so admired the studio used it as a training film for its comedy filmmakers, Keaton plays a tintype street photographer who tries his hand as a freelance newsreel cameraman in order to win the affection of a girl who works at a newsreel company.

SPITE MARRIAGE

A jilted actress pops the question to hapless admirer Keaton. The result is a marriage made in comedy heaven, filled with rescues and slapstick. The landmark routine of putting the inebriated bride to bed became a staple of Keaton's 1950s live show.
