Original keep case packaging

Reissued in slimline keep cases

Since there is no such thing as too much Buster Keaton, Kino International has collected together their ten previously-released discs of Keaton feature films and shorts into a quality DVD boxset, and added a new compilation disc.

All of Buster Keaton’s pre-MGM feature films are represented in the set, along with nearly all of his independently-produced silent comedy short films. With the quality video transfers presented in this set, you’ll enjoy 20-plus hours of nearly crystal-clear Buster Keaton at his finest.

If you are considering buying Keaton in quantity, we highly recommend this set, despite its daunting cost, rather than the legion of cheapy discs, available individually or in tempting multidisc sets. The cheap discs are often mastered from subpar 16mm reduction prints and feature cobbled-together prerecorded music. This Kino set features transfers from some of the best-available 35mm prints, and are presented with custom music scores.

The bonus disc, Keaton Plus, contains 200 minutes of Keaton silent and sound shorts, television appearances, commercials, home movies and late movies, in exerpts and complete releases. The discs themselves are now housed in plastic keep cases rather than the previously available, and annoyingly easy to scuff, snapper cases.
