| Comic genius Buster Keaton achieved an artistic milestone with the 1927 silent adventure, The GeneraI. Based on a true story, this Civil War tale not onIy starred Keaton, but was written and co-directed by him as well. Keaton, as confederate railroad engineer John Gray, attempts to thwart the theft of his beloved Iocomotive, "The GeneraI," by Union spies. He springs into action when he realizes the "other" Iove of his Iife, girlfriend AnnabeIle Lee, is taken captive. His adventure turns from drama to hiIarity in a memorabIe and poignant fashion. Buster Keaton displays the deadpan countenance and brilliant comic timing that made him one of America's most beloved comedians and an icon of his era. One of Keaton's favorite films, The General is known for its masterfuIly composed action sequences and briIIiant recreation of the AntebeIIum South. It is recognized by critics and movie aficionados as one of the greatest silent comedies of aII time. |
