5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Surprise, 2 Nov 2007
By Veronique Guemise "Magician" (France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This collection includes ten ot Keaton's Columbia Shorts produced in the late 1930s and early 1940s.

General Nuisance
His ex marks the spot
Mooching through Georgia
Nothing but pleasure
Pardon my Berth Marks
Pest from the West
She's Oil Mine
So you won't squawk
The Spook Speaks
The taming of the Snood

After hearing for years how poor these films were I was expecting to see a sad collection of films starring Keaton in a sharp decline. With such low expectations I was very surprised to see the quality of this collection. The quality of the films are, on the whole, very good - and certainly a huge improvement over most of his 1930s output. Keaton does of course look older than most people will remember him (much older than the image used on the front of the box), but he is still able to do some amazing falls and stunts that are comparable to what he could do in his prime.

Keaton is surrounded by a good cast of comedy character actors and seems determined to lift even an average scene into something special. He really looks like he is trying his hardest to produce something special.

I would even be tempted to say that these rank among the best of Keaton's talkie films.

All ten films come with enlightening audio-commentaries from Keaton experts, and there is also a very entertaining biography on Buster. I awarded five stars not for the high quality of the films (they are not comedy classics)but for an excellent overall package. You even get a reproduction annotated script for one of the films (she's oil mine).

This collection will not disappoint Keaton fans.

After you have seen all ten films you will be left wishing he had signed the new contract he was offered by columbia and produced more of these little gems.

5.0 out of 5 stars The films are so-so, but the commentaries are priceless, 10 Aug 2008
By Graceann Macleod "Books Fuel My Life" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Columbia shorts can generally be considered the nadir of Buster Keaton's comedic output, but in each one, there is a glimmer of the genius that graced the cinemas of the 1920s, and there is no better way to experience these shorts than by listening to the illuminating commentaries provided with each one. They all dovetail nicely without duplicating each others' effort. All of them are excellent, but the pieces provided by Patricia Eliot Tobias (co-founder of the International Buster Keaton Society) and Joe Adamson should be singled out for special commendation.

The best of these shorts, Pest from the West, offers some of the best laughs that Buster could give us at this time in his life. His rendition of "In a Little Spanish Town" is still a crowd-pleaser at Keaton events, and justifiably so. This is the fun, fast-paced little gem that Buster could pull out of his porkpie when given the chance. Well worth adding to your collection.
