Kino-Konzert mit André Desponds "The Cameraman"

In love with an MGM employee, Buster Keaton, alias Luke Shannon, hires as a cameraman at the studio's New York newsreel department. The first reportage experiences are pure disaster, but Luke's luck turns when he returns with never-before-seen footage – shot by a monkey that has taken possession of his camera ...
The first film Buster Keaton made after the momentous relinquishment of his independence from MGM was his second-to-last silent film and is considered his last major film ever. "Fabulous gags, (...) make it the funniest of all Keaton films." (Jean Tulard: Guide des films) – Réédition with new copy.
