Keaton plays a hapless newsreel cameraman desperate to impress both his new employer and his winsome office crush as he zigzags up and down Manhattan hustling for a scoop. Along the way, he goes for a swim (and winds up soaked), becomes embroiled in a Chinatown Tong War, and teams up with a memorable monkey sidekick (the famous Josephine). The marvelously inventive film-within-a-film setup allows Keaton’s imagination to run wild, yielding both sly insights into the travails of moviemaking and an emotional payoff of disarming poignancy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion B Blu-ray: Australian compatible.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"header_lvl2 hideSmall\"\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew 4K digital restoration undertaken by the Cineteca di Bologna, the Criterion Collection, and Warner Bros.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScore composed and conducted by Timothy Brock and performed by the orchestra of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna in 2020, presented in uncompressed stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary from 2004 featuring Glenn Mitchell, author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eA–Z of Silent Film Comedy: An Illustrated Companion\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew 2K restoration of Buster Keaton’s\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpite Marriage\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(1929), with a 2004 audio commentary by film historians John Bengtson and Jeffrey Vance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTime Travelers\u003c\/em\u003e, a new documentary by Daniel Raim featuring interviews with Bengtson and film historian Marc Wanamaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eSo Funny It Hurt: Buster Keaton \u0026amp; MGM\u003c\/em\u003e, a 2004 documentary by film historian Kevin Brownlow and filmmaker Christopher Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Motion Picture Camera\u003c\/em\u003e, a 1979 documentary by A.S.C. cinematographer and film preservationist Karl Malka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interview with James L.
