Hopelessly in love with a woman working at MGM Studios, a clumsy man attempts to become a motion-picture cameraman to be close to the object of his desire.
Buster Keaton’s last great film, The Cameraman (1928), is his love letter to the machine that makes movies possible. He plays a humble street photographer who is smitten with a pretty secretary and follows her back to the newsreel office where she works. There, with catlike curiosity, he inspects a movie camera, trying the crank and the latch of the film chamber, fingers itching to delve into the mysteries of its shutters and sprockets. The girl, played by Marceline Day, is a prize he dreams of winning, but the camera—like the locomotive in Keaton’s masterpiece, The General (1926), or the ocean liner in The Navigator (1924)—is his real costar, at once an ornery antagonist and an alter ego.
