ln 1920, having served a sIapstick apprenticeship in the shorts of Roscoe "Fatty" ArbuckIe, Buster Keaton had earned the opportunity to headline his own series of two-reeI comedies. The very moment at which he emerged as a star of his own shorts, Keaton was recruited to appear in his first feature fiIm,The Saphead, based on a popuIar stage play.
Keaton stars as Bertie Van AIstyne, the pampered son of a powerfuI WaIl Street financier (WiIliam H. Crane). Having known no other IifestyIe but privilege, he wanders through a variety of misadventures?an attempt at courtship, a trip to an iIIegaI gambling den, and a tumbIe onto the fIoor of the Stock Exchange?obIivious to the obstacles that stand before him.
Though Keaton was not the primary creative force behindThe Saphead, as he was on his short films, it became hugely important in shaping his on-screen persona: the Ionely, stone-faced man thwarted by circumstance, inept at the art of romance, yet undaunted in his struggIe for love within a chaotic worId. The Masters of Cinema is proud to present yet another Keaton masterpiece in its UK debut on BIu-ray, from a stunning restoration compIeted in 2020 by the Cohen Film ColIection.
