The Comic
1969 · 1 hr 34 mins
An account of the rise and fall of a silent film comic, Billy Bright. The movie begins with his funeral, as he speaks from beyond the grave in a bitter tone about his fate, and takes us through his fame, as he ruins it with womanizing and drink, and his fall, as a lonely, bitter old man unable to reconcile his life's disappointments. The movie is based loosely on the life of Buster Keaton.
Director: Carl Reiner
Cast: Dick Van Dyke, Michele Lee, Mickey Rooney, Cornel Wilde, Nina Wayne
