The Cameraman is a 1928 American silent film comedy directed by Edward Sedgwick and an uncredited Buster Keaton.<>.</> The picture stars Buster Keaton, Marceline Day, Harold Goodwin (American actor), and others.
The Cameraman was Keaton's first film with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It is considered by fans and critics to be Keaton still in top form, and it was added to the National Film Registry in 2005 as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Within a little over a year, however, MGM would take away Keaton's creative control over his pictures, thereby causing drastic and long-lasting harm to his career. Keaton was later to call the move to MGM "the worst mistake of my career."
