Buster Keaton is considered one the greatest comedians of the silent film eras. He could do and say more with the movement of an eyeball, than some could accomplish using all of their facilities. He'd made 82 films before signing on with MGM and turning out The Cameraman, what some say is his best film. There's a wonderful scene in that film where Keaton makes googoo eyes over his camera with Marceline Day. There's no dialogue needed to understand the sexual chemistry going on between the characters.

"The TMC Archives: Buster Keaton Collection" is a remarkable sampling of Keaton's extraordinary work. The 2-disc DVD includes three feature films - "The Cameraman," "Sprite Marriage" and "Free and Easy." The films are spectacular to watch, especially with the audio commentaries provided by: Glenn Mitchell - author of "A- Z of Silent Film Comedy: An Illustrated Companion;" John Bengtson, author of "Silent Echoes: Discovering Early Hollywood Through the Films of Buster Keaton;" Jeffrey Vance - co-author of "Buster Keaton Remembered" and documentarian/historian Kevin Brownlow .

Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne introduces each film.

"The Cameraman" (1928) is remastered with a new score by Arthur Barnow. Since silent films had no dialogue, its great to watch this film with the audio commentary on as you can learn so much more about a film.

Glenn Mitchell, author of "A- Z of Silent Film Comedy: An Illustrated Companion," provides the splendid commentary for "The Cameraman" and includes a lot of details about the film's making. Mitchell's comments about the film in relation to the Hearst Corporation are particularly interesting.

As Mitchell explains, "The Cameraman" was a salute to early news photographers. Buster Keaton plays Buster/Luke (some references call the character Buster, others Luke), a photographer who takes Tintype photos for 10 cents. He longs to become a news photographer and when he meets the young and pretty Sally (Marceline Day), he gets the chance to court her and a new job at the same time.

Right off the bat Buster discovers covering the news isn't as easy as it looks. But when Sally gives him a lead to go and cover a Chinese turf war, Buster gets the footage he needs to impress the Boss at the news' office. Or does he?

One of the best scenes in the film is when Buster goes into Yankee stadium. There's no game so Buster acts out a one-man game. As Glenn Mitchell explains, in this scene Keaton uses many of his earlier vaudevillian and mime skills to perfection.

Some of "The Cameraman's" footage is crisp and clear, while some appears grainy. Part of this is because the original film was lost in the MGM vault fire during the 1960s. New footage from the film showed up years later and when combined with an original negative, produced this new version.

During most of his films prior to "The Cameraman," Keaton had a lot of artistic control, something he lost when signing on with MGM. Yet one classic scene in "The Cameraman" supposedly was at Kenton's insistence that it play the way it did. It's a scene where he walks up the staircase of his boarding house lost in his daydreams about Sally. The camera was actually put on its own elevator and follows Buster simultaneously up the stairs. This allows the camera to capture every nuance of Keaton's expressions.

Many say that "The Cameraman" remains Keaton's best representative of the quality of his earlier works. Whether you agree or not, "The Cameraman" is absolutely delightful to watch.
