Yes, it was "high class glee" being spouted in the reams of Keaton bios I have read o'er the years, and frankly, anybody who would disagree could use a lobotomy. <br /><br />You might be surprised that I hold his MGM-era features, even <b>PARLOR BEDROOM AND BATH</b> in the highest regards. I especially enjoyed <b>SIDEWALKS OF NEW YORK</b> which was directed by White and because of the street-gang subplot has a good East Side Kids feeling to it. Certainly not something for the snooty film conny-sewers you seem to be defending, but I am quite fond of it.
