It's so interesting how Keaton's whole demeanor and energy change as soon as his wife comes out. Before that, he seemed overwhelmed and almost lost. Then suddenly, he's lively and joking.

Buster was, off-screen, a bit shy, and didn’t like being presented in awkward situations such as this.

A giant, a genius, the one and only Buster Keaton!

Thank God for Eleanor coming into his life

Just an amazing man, his greatness truly shows in how humble his is here. Thank you for this treasure.

As Orson Welles noted, Keaton was the best of them all. So many great films and great moments . . .

I'm reading a biography on him right now, I think it's "Camera Man." Orson Wells says, What a beautiful face."

Truly the best of all silent comedy stars. It was sad for Buster to be reminded of his lean years when he was artistically eviscerated by the movie moguls, leading to his drink problems.

A great film maker and an awesome athlete!! Many film historians believe that 'The General' may be the greatest movie ever made.

I used to watch Buster Keaton's movies when I was a kid (70's) Wow, KZread is great, a goldmine for people who want to learn history, too bad most of the younger generation is totally ignorant about it

Buster Keaton did not see combat during his service in World War I. His division, the 40th Infantry Division, was primarily used as a replacement unit, which means its soldiers were deployed to reinforce other units rather than being sent into battle as a complete division. Keaton himself served in a non-combat role, working in the military hospital in the town of La Rochelle, France. Either way, his service is appreciated and his work as a comedian is enjoyed :)

@sarahewson3607

They did dwell on the hard times quite a bit, I’m assuming it just proved his resilience and talent that he came back from it. It would feel horribly awkward to be the host having to bring it up, i hated having to see Buster lower his head at the mention of it. Everything else was beautiful though.

A great man !

He had a lot of hearing loss, which is probably why he's watching the host so carefully--so he doesn't miss anything.

Thank you heavily father for giving us Mr. Keaton.

if not already noted, he came up with or staged the Stateroom scene in the Marx Brothers "A Night at the Opera"

Awe I’m getting tears in my eyes

.. my father named our farm dog BUSTER in the late 50's early 60's .. Dad would not to me how he came up with the name BUSTER .. now I know

I think that’s his gag…I’m sure he is a sphinx under all the armor.. one of the greats

Oddly enough, our legendary & beloved Buster Keaton did not seem that enthralled with the great Donald Crisp...

Red Skelton showed the greatest admiration for Buster. One comedian to another.

​@@kittykittymeowmeow19 You can see that when his wife comes in, his behavior changes. It's interesting. It feels like those intervention situations or surprise meeting and you unexpectedly find someone to lean on. He's a tragic figure, had serious drinking issues and he's lost confidence in a romantic relationship (his previous wife was cruel as far as she could be). I don't know the extent of that love in the relationship between Buster and Eleanor, but she probably restored his faith in many ways. A man who was at his worst and thought he had lost everything. He looked a little tired, trying to follow the script.

As it turne out, that biograpnhical movie wasn't very good; Keaton himself disliked it immensely. I'm sure he admired O'Connor as an actor, but the film itself was factually inaccurate and Keaton resented it.
