About this product

Product Information

A young railroad engineer is prevented from enlisting in the Confederate Army because of his profession. A year later he is able to free his girlfriend who is a passenger on a train hijacked by Union soldiers. Historians consider this film to be the last truly classic comedy of the silent film era. Set against the background of the railroads and our hero's great love - a locomotive known as 'The General'. Tinted version. Fully restored version with music background. Includes two short films: 'Cops' and 'The Balloonatics'.

Additional InformationThe two things engineer Johnny Gray (Buster Keaton) loves most in the world are his Southern belle sweetheart and his locomotive. When Northern spies steal the latter, the intrepid Confederate single-handedly takes on the entire Union army in order to get it back. Against a backdrop of magnificently photographed Civil War battle scenes unfolds one of the great chases in movie history. Set almost entirely aboard moving trains, Keaton's THE GENERAL is physical comedy refined to elegant perfection and widely considered to be the actor-director's greatest film.
