Keaton stars as a movie theater projectionist who dreams of becoming a super-sleuth and, in one breathtaking sequence, literally steps into the screen to bring his fantasies to life.
Another comedy for film-lovers (that plays upon the conventions of cinema), Three...

It's a harum-scarum collection of song, slapstick and thumbnail sketches, the likes of which defy dramatic law! The focus of the story is on Fields' presentation of an imaginative script for a new picture at Esoteric Pictures, Inc. The script turns out to be a vehicle for himself, a hero who makes Superman look like a wimp. It's a Fields-day on a vaudeville bill, with the bulbous-nosed star in every act!

Description
Three ages: Buster's first foray into feature film production after a successful string of shorts. This hilariously inventive satire of D.W. Griffith's Intolerance follows the age-old story of misadventures on the road to finding love, retold in three separate eras, a structure that cleverly allowed Keaton to recut the film into three separate shorts if it failed as a feature.
Our hospitality: Perhaps Keaton's most nuanced comedy. In it, he plays...
