The TV documentary So Funny It Hurt: Buster Keaton and MGM (2004) by acclaimed filmmaker Kevin Brownlow offers an intimate look at silent comedy legend Buster Keaton's tumultuous five years working for Hollywood studio MGM. Known for his deadpan physical comedy and death-defying stunts in iconic silent films of the 1920s, Keaton's personal and professional troubles under MGM's restrictive contract are insightfully chronicled through rare archival footage and interviews.
Narrated by Keaton's friend and colleague James Karen, the film explores how one of cinema's greatest clowns faced artistic compromises and clashed with MGM studio heads during what should have been the prime era of his career. As Keaton grappled with failing first marriage, alcohol abuse issues, and flagging box office appeal with the rise of talkies, MGM denied him creative control and relegated him to recycling gags for other comedians.
Yet glimmers of Keaton's genius endure, as seen in side-by-side clip comparisons of his earlier work next to nearly identical MGM talkie scenes featuring the Marx Brothers and Red Skelton, both clearly inspired by the master. While a bittersweet portrait, So Funny It Hurt offers a loving tribute to Keaton's lasting comedic brilliance despite the personal and professional disasters inflicted during his short, sharp MGM tenure.
