The General
1:43 The General
One of Buster Keaton's best efforts, this film has been called "the last great comedy of the silent screen." It's a Civil War story, with Keaton as a Confederate train engineer in search of his train. A frantic chase involves Keaton on the trail of Union soldiers, who in turn chase him. The plot is based on a true incident.
