Unfortunate. This is an excellent piece of history,and combines two elements key in documentaries: (1) It allows a novice to get up to speed, while (2) Informing and entertaining those already familiar with the one of the giants of early film-making.
The biography comes first, followed by the high point -- the second half of the film dwells on Keaton's 10 or so feature length films.
Other than the unneeded inclusion of several younger comedians who could not have had any contact with Buster or his contemporaries, this is top notch.
