Buster's Stunning Stunts
The house façade falling on Buster Keaton in Steamboat Bill Jr. ('28) is one of the most recognized and evocative images of silent comedy. But Buster’s films are filled with similarly amazing “how did he do that” moments that are as integral a part of his comedy as his famous deadpan. Special guest speaker Cliff Cronan, a stuntman and Keaton scholar, will talk about how Buster did what he did, showing clips and the classic shorts: Convict 13 and The Paleface.
