The Comic

In the somber shadow of his own funeral, Billy Bright, a once-celebrated silent film comic, narrates his tragic tale with a bitter edge from beyond the grave. His journey unfolds through the dazzling heights of stardom, where his charm captivates audiences, only to crumble under the weight of his own vices -- womanizing and alcoholism erode his success. As years pass, Billy descends into obscurity, becoming a lonely, embittered old man, haunted by the disappointments of a life he cannot mend. Inspired by the real-life struggles of Buster Keaton, this story captures the fleeting nature of fame and the personal toll of self-destruction.
