The General

Length: 75 Minutes | Produced:1927

One of the greatest silent comedies ever made! The General is Hollywood dynamo Buster Keatons masterpiece. Beloved for his short film comedies, Keaton would expand his cinematic horizons in this big budget and adventurous Civil War film. Keaton stars as a railroad engineer who greatly desires to enlist and fight against the North. Too useful as an engineer, hes turned down, much to the chagrin of his love Annabelle Lee, played by the beautiful Marion Mack. Keaton gets his chance for action, however, when Northern soldier steal his most adored possession, his locomotive named The General. Though the film is adventurous, Keaton doesnt get away from what made him a household name: masterful physical comedy. Truly Keatons magnum opus, The General combines a more gripping story with Keatons trademark antics. The results are tremendously entertaining!
