Silent Echoes: Discovering Early Hollywood Through the Films of Buster Keaton

A unique visual history of early Hollywood and other vintage locations as depicted in Buster Keaton's classic movies, this book combines images from Keaton's films with archival photographs, historic maps, and scores of dramatic �then” and �now” photos, revealing dozens of movie locations that lay undiscovered for nearly 80 years. Part time-machine, part detective story, it presents a fresh look at the matchless Keaton at work, as well as a captivating glimpse of Hollywood's most romantic era. More than a book for film, comedy, or history buffs, this book will appeal to anyone fascinated with solving puzzles or witnessing the awesome passage of time.
