    It's so interesting how Keaton's whole demeanor and energy change as soon as his wife comes out. Before that, he seemed overwhelmed and almost lost. Then suddenly, he's lively and joking.

    Truly the best of all silent comedy stars. It was sad for Buster to be reminded of his lean years when he was artistically eviscerated by the movie moguls, leading to his drink problems.

      They did dwell on the hard times quite a bit, I’m assuming it just proved his resilience and talent that he came back from it. It would feel horribly awkward to be the host having to bring it up, i hated having to see Buster lower his head at the mention of it. Everything else was beautiful though.

      ​@@kittykittymeowmeow19 You can see that when his wife comes in, his behavior changes. It's interesting. It feels like those intervention situations or surprise meeting and you unexpectedly find someone to lean on. He's a tragic figure, had serious drinking issues and he's lost confidence in a romantic relationship (his previous wife was cruel as far as she could be). I don't know the extent of that love in the relationship between Buster and Eleanor, but she probably restored his faith in many ways. A man who was at his worst and thought he had lost everything. He looked a little tired, trying to follow the script.
