The General
The General (1926) starring Buster Keaton, Marion Mack
Johnnie loves his train (“The General”) and Annabelle Lee. When the Civil War begins he is turned down for service because he’s more valuable as an engineer. But, Annabelle thinks it’s because he’s a coward. Union spies capture The General with Annabelle on board. So, Johnny must rescue them both.
Review
Buster Keaton’s The General is one of the best comedies ever made. It’s set during the Civil War, telling the story of a young man in the Confederate South. Buster actually based The General on a true story — but don’t take it for history.
