AB  - Abstract The collaboration of Samuel Beckett and Buster Keaton on the 1964 short Film is one of those match-ups that sound rich with promise. But their marriage proved brief and problematic. This article examines how creative cross-purposes turned Beckett's only movie and one of Keaton's last into an absurdist comedy of talents misapplied.
