Three Ages is a 1923 silent comedy feature co-directed by and
starring Buster Keaton, with Edward F. Cline. Keaton's first feature
film, it parodies D.W. Griffith's Intolerance by telling three parallel
love stories set in the Stone Age, the Roman era, and the modern age.
In each segment, Keaton competes with a larger, more formidable rival
for the affections of a woman. The film was designed so that the three
segments could be released separately as two-reelers if the feature
format proved unsuccessful. The film is in the public domain.
