The Triumph of Lester Snapwell

This was another rarity I found on the Buster Keaton DVD collection, "Industrial Strength Keaton". In this one, he plays the title character trying to take a picture of his girlfriend Clementine (Sigrid Nelsson) and her mother (Nina Varela) through various periods of photography. Except for narration meant to convey the wonders of the Kodak camera to Lester over the years, the whole thing has a feeling of a classic silent comedy with Buster giving his still expert timing, all to quite hilarious effect especially when tangling with the heavyset Varela. This is particularly amazing considering Keaton's age and his previous struggles, both personally and professionally. So on that note, I highly recommend The Triumph of Lester Snapwell.
