The iconic “Dressing Room Scene” (https://youtu.be/X6D6iZ6B5uY?si=h_EmZjLCCyf6UxNL) marked not only one of the films funniest moments but it was also the film debut of Edward Brophy

Despite “The Cameraman” (1928) being used for years by MGM as an example of the perfect comedy the film was almost lost forever b/c the ONLY COPY was destroyed in the 1965 MGM vault fire. The current restoration comes from prints found in Paris & a copy found in the early 90s. Additionally, one reel was removed from the film by MGM some time in the 1950s and the current prints have a noticeable 3ish mins or so missing as well.

“The Cameraman” (1928) is considered one of Buster Keaton’s best films. While the directing credit goes to longtime MGM-era Keaton collaborator Edward Sedgwick, it’s known that Keaton was essentially the film’s co-director
