The Buster Keaton Story is a 1957 American drama film directed by Sidney Sheldon and written by Sidney Sheldon and Robert Smith. The film stars Donald O'Connor, Ann Blyth, Rhonda Fleming, Peter Lorre, Larry Keating and Jackie Coogan. It was released on April 21, 1957, by Paramount Pictures. The film was inaccurate regarding details of Keaton's life but was nevertheless high entertainment. It was produced by Paramount Pictures, which paid Keaton 50K USD for the rights to his life story.

Buster Keaton, American actor, comedian, film director, producer, screenwriter, and stunt performer (October 4, 1895 - February 1, 1966) was born Joseph Frank Keaton into a vaudeville family in Piqua, Kansas, the small town where his mother Myra Keaton (nee Cutler) was when she went into labor. Buster Keaton was best known for his silent films, in which his trademark was physical comedy with a consistently stoic, deadpan expression, earning him the nickname "The Great Stone Face." Critic Roger Ebert wrote of Keaton's "extraordinary period from 1920 to 1929, he worked without interruption on a series of films that make him, arguably, the greatest actor-director in the history of the movies". His career declined afterward with a dispiriting loss of his artistic independence when he was hired by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and he descended into alcoholism, ruining his family life. He recovered in the 1940s, remarried, and revived his career to a degree as an honored comic performer for the rest of his life, earning an Academy Honorary Award in 1959. Many of Keaton's films from the 1920s, such as Sherlock Jr. (1924), The General (1926), and The Cameraman (1928), remain highly regarded, with the second of these three widely viewed as his masterpiece. Among its strongest admirers was Orson Welles, who stated that The General was cinema's highest achievement in comedy, and perhaps the greatest film ever made. Keaton was recognized as the seventh-greatest film director by Entertainment Weekly, and in 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him the 21st greatest male star of classic Hollywood cinema. Buster Keaton died of lung cancer on February 1, 1966, aged 70, in Woodland Hills, California.
