When a young man falls in love with a girl who works for MGM, he tries to impress her by making his own films. This is the first film Buster Keaton shot for MGM and it’s a great homage to filmmaking, because Keaton summons every known cinematic technique of the time, this way delivering an impressive spectacle.
