For his only effort written expressly for the screen, minimalist playwright Samuel Beckett recruited Buster Keaton to star in this dialogue- and score-free absurdist short farce, which tracks the ultimately futile efforts of a stubbornly private senior (Keaton) attempting to outrun an invasive movie camera dogging his every step. Long-sought comic treasure co-stars James Karen, Nell Harrison. Also included is the 1961 staging of Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" for TV’s "Play of the Week" starring Burgess Meredith and Zero Mostel. 134 min. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
