Project Keaton Post #38: The High Sign submitted by Angela of The Hollywood Revue. Angela is one of the more prolific classic film bloggers out there and Project Keaton was so happy to have her pen a post for Buster. Her focus, Keaton’s 1921 short The High Sign. (One of our favorites too. The Blinking Buzzards secret signal should be the sacred handshake of all silent film fans.)
She writes:
“This was the first independent two-reeler that Buster made, but he wasn’t particularly happy with it and held off releasing it until after One Week had been released. I don’t really get why Buster wasn’t happy with it because I thought it was brilliant…. Buster got more laughter out of me in 21 minutes than most modern comedies do in two hours.”
