Title: Buster Keaton : Cut to the Chase
Review: Fascinating to read if you enjoy reading celebrity tabloids, i.e., lots of dirt, unfounded rumors and outright untruths misrepresented as a biography. (Some nice photos, though.) Biggest lie is that Keaton was illiterate, which is absolutely absurd. A much more acurate picture of Buster's life can be obtained from his own autobiography which is the truth, at least as Buster himself experienced it. The 3-tape video "Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow" is also recommended by this reviewer as well as the documentary of the making of "The Railrodder" titled "The Life and Times of Buster Keaton." Yes, Buster did some self-destructive things in his life, but they are far outnumbered by the gifts and talent which he made extraordinary use of during at least 65 of his 70 years of life.
