Three Ages is a 1923 feature-length comedy film starring comedian Buster Keaton. The first feature Keaton wrote, directed and starred in (unlike The Saphead (1920), in which he only acted), Keaton structured the film like three inter-cut short films. The structure also worked as a satire of D. W. Griffith's 1916 film Intolerance.
[edit] Plot
In three different historical periods-- caveman days, ancient Rome, and modern times-- Buster and Wallace Beery compete for the attention of the same woman, played by Margaret Leahy.
