Excerpts from online Reviews-


*One of the most revered comedies of the silent era, this film finds hapless Southern railroad engineer Johnny Gray (Buster Keaton) facing off against Union soldiers during the American Civil War. When Johnny's fiancée, Annabelle Lee (Marion Mack), is accidentally taken away while on a train stolen by Northern forces, Gray pursues the soldiers, using various modes of transportation in comic action scenes that highlight Keaton's boundless wit and dexterity.


**One of the best silent comedies ever! It's so funny, because of hilarious amounts of physical gags, and is just over-the-top fun! Seriously, you need to watch this. It's from the golden age of cinema, showing it's one of the best movies ever made! Please, do watch this!!!


***Brilliantly filmed and fueled with classic physical comedy, The General captures Buster Keaton at his timeless best.
