Format:Taschenbuch
Don't bother to read this book. It overlooks Buster's artistry, and is strangely obsessed with the finances of each film. A much better book on Keaton is the one by Rudi Blesh, which is unfortunately unavailable now.
Format:Taschenbuch
I am an unabashed fan of Buster Keaton, believing his to be the pinnacle of physical humor on film in the 20th century. This book balanced the many aspects of a complicated and brilliant man who spent only one day in a schoolroom. The final section is written very sensitively, and has some great photos.

Many Factual Errors
3. August 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I have read and own many books on Buster Keaton. This is the worst I have seen. Many "facts" are in error (such as who starred in The Buster Keaton Story, etc.) and that casts suspicion on everything else. Since I already knew a great deal about Keaton, this book offended me in what it got wrong. Make sure this is not the ONLY reference you read of The Great Stone Face, it's pretty much junk.

Don't bother...
26. Juni 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
This book has many factual mistakes that are just stupid mistakes such as confusing the order of Keaton's sons. There were only 2 of them so how hard can it be to get the order right?
Also, Dardis writes things that seems rather unlikely to have happened then does not back the "facts" in his notes such as Keaton's second wife prostituting herself at the Biltmore Hotel with his sister's help! What the hell? One shocking thing he writes is some comment about Keaton "may have" lost the tip of his finger in a clothes wringer. What's this "may have"? I don't think there's any question about it. Keaton himself said he crushed it in a clothes wringer and back then something like that was a common occurrence. The one good thing about this book is it has excellent pictures-pictures I've never seen in any other books about Keaton.
