Christina’s Reviews > Camera Man: Buster Keaton, the Dawn of Cinema, and the Invention of the Twentieth Century > Status Update

I don't follow Dana Stevens' claim "independent studio model of filmmaking was collapsing under its own weight" argument regarding the box office flop status of "The General."

Keaton wasn't the only comedian who had an independent studio, and the creative control over his films, nor was he the only comedian to release his full-length features for United Artists to distribute.
