For his first feature film, Keaton made an AffectionateParody of Creator/{{D W Griffith}}'s ''Film/{{Intolerance}}'', in which a LoveTriangle plays out in prehistoric times, during the Roman Empire, and in 1920s America. (The idea was that if the feature-length version flopped, it could be re-edited into three separate shorts.) The film was almost lost to posterity, because by the 1950s the negative was badly damaged. It was eventually salvaged, but some shots are still heavily obscured.
