The Cameraman is a 1928 American silent romantic comedy directed by Edward Sedgwick and an uncredited Buster Keaton. The picture stars Keaton and Marceline Day. The Cameraman was Keaton's first film under contract to Metro-Goldwin-Mayer. It is considered by fans and critics to be one of Keaton's best and was added to the National Film Registry in 2005 as being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Buster, a sidewalk tintype portrait photographer in New York City, develops a crush on Sally, a secretary who works for MGM Newsreels. To be near her, he purchases an old film camera, emptying his bank account, and attempts to get a job as one of MGM's cameramen.
