The General Buster Keaton 1926 |
||
|
|
|
 |
Inspired by a true Civil War incident, the film follows Southern engine driver Buster as he strains to retrieve his beloved (kidnapped) and his beloved railway engine ‘The General’ (hi-jacked) from the hands of Union spies. This absolute gape, gasp and laugh-til-you-bust masterpiece of silent comedy is a jewel of physical and psychological precision timing. (77 minutes)
Score by Paul Robinson commissioned by the 2003 King’s Cross Rail to Reel Film Season. 35mm |
