Keaton's career declined after signing with which company?

  • Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

  • Warner Bros.

  • Universal Pictures

  • Paramount Pictures

Answer

Keaton's career declined after signing with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer because the studio had a more conservative approach to comedy than he did. Keaton wanted to make films that were more experimental and visually interesting, while MGM wanted to make films that were more mainstream and appealing to a wider audience. As a result, Keaton's films at MGM were not as successful as his earlier films, and his career began to decline.
