September 22, 1928 –
Considered to be one of his best films, The Camerman directed by Edward Sedgwick and Buster Keaton, and starring Buster Keaton and Marceline Day, was released on this date.
The film was almost lost forever. The only known copy at the time was destroyed in a fire at Storage Vault No. 7 at MGM in August 1965. The existing master copy of it was made using a print that was found in Paris in 1968, and a master positive copy of nearly the entire film, found in 1991. In modern copies of the film, the quality of the image varies dramatically; the scenes with best quality were obtained from the material found in 1991.
