The Buster Keaton Story

Song-and-dance man Donald O’Connor stars as silent-era comedian Buster Keaton in this imaginative biopic that largely reinvents the details of Keaton’s real life and centers the story on his conflicting feelings for two women (Ann Blyth and Rhonda Fleming). Peter Lorre co-stars as a director who puts Keaton through his paces, with Jackie Coogan (later known for his portrayal as Uncle Fester on The Addams Family) appearing in a minor role.
