Buster Keaton In A Special Episode Of The Twilight Zone
Buster Keaton guest stars in an episode of "The Twilight Zone." While I admit I do not like this series as a whole, I did enjoy this particular episode and found Buster Keaton's performance excellent. For a man in his late sixties, he displays remarkable agility. None of the reviews found here were very helpful, but one was quite egregious. The reviewer writes "Every film he made from the beginning of his career to the early 30s with only two exceptions have I reviewed, so you can tell I am a major fan." He continues "Now, in the 1960s, Keaton needed the money and loved his resurgence in popularity so he whored himself out to anyone willing to pay--appearing in Beach films and this mess of an episode of a great series." He says he is a major fan, yet uses the phrase "whored himself out to anyone willing to pay?" That does not sound like a major fan. He goes on to denigrate Keaton and the episode, but that is enough.
