A hard to find gem

David Robinson's BUSTER KEATON is a very good book on the silent films of Buster. Mr. Robinson states in the first chapter that "the object...is to deal exclusively with the films". He stays away from Buster's personal life, pointing readers to Rudi Blesh's book (which at the time was out for only a few years). Mr. Robinson's details up through Spite Marriage are fantastic (175 pages). However, if there is a negative, he devotes a mere 2 pages to all of Buster's post-Spite Marriage work.
