Today, Buster Keaton stands alongside Charlie Chaplin as the most famous and best-loved comedian of the silent era, and of his many feature-length films, The General has been repeatedly hailed as one of the best ten films of all time.
The General rightly deserves its reputation as one of Buster Keaton’s most highly praised and popular movies, encompassing a broad range of features which appeal to a wide audience. From the old-world romance of authentic steam engines and trains, surprising and impressive attention to historic detail, likeable characters and a rollicking fun and action-packed adventure, it has everything that modern-day audiences around the world enjoy over and over again.
It is also a great action adventure epic and an impressive historic costume drama depicting a real event of the Civil War.
Of special interest is the brief appearance of Australian actor, Frank S. Hagney as the Confederate Recruiting Officer.
