As a kid I heard about Buster Keaton and later in life I was able to find one of his movies. The man was a genius. I can't remember the name of the movie but I do remember a few of the scenes. A house fell on top of him as he was walking away. The open window encased him exactly. Brilliantly done.

@hippyjoe1955 I think he did his own stunts as well.

@hippyjoe1955 Harold Lloyd was funny as well. Famous during his time, but not as well known now. CC was funny, but the man was a lifelong member of the communist party. He was prohibited from entering the U.S. for many years and was only allowed re-entry to receive an Oscar. I don't understand how someone could have spent so much time villanizing Hitler and still embrace communism. Same wine, different bottles.
