Wiki.
The Awakening is a 1954 short British TV drama film directed by Michael McCarthy and starring Buster Keaton. The screenplay was by Lawrence B. Marcus based on Nikolai Gogol's short story "The Overcoat". It was part of the Douglas Fairbanks Presents anthology series.
The Man is a first dramatic role of Buster Keaton. Fairbanks says, "It struck me as a beautiful idea as a novel idea as to put him in a straight part, because he was such a beautiful actor and a great talent. It worked out very well; he gave a marvelous performance".
The original plot of Gogol's story is significantly changed. There are allusions to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four dystopia in the film.
