The General (DVD, 1999, DISCONTINUED)

Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

The 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.

  • A good comedy, that sadly financially broke Buster from personally financing another movie.

    Wanted an old unique silent comedy. Heard that this movie was Buster Keaton's last movie he directed, financed and acted in. So I bought the movie, and wasn't disappointed. Mildly surprised with the 3 bonus films that there included.

  • The General: 2001 Kino release, with 2 shorts -

    An older dvd release -NOT public domain- but good quality, with approp. score. For those unaware, this film is normally in the "top 50" films of ALL time. Yes, a silent, but it IS that good. Show your children, explain the history of silent film to them, explain that 'talkies' were initially considered a mere novelty . . . While this is a totally acceptable release, tech advances in restoring silent film have taken tremendous strides in the last 20 yrs. IF a title of interest, consider this film in a later Kino 'ultimate edition', or a Cohen Media 2K restoration. In any form, marvellous cinema awaits you!

  • Great MOvie from the silent movie era

    This is a classic 1927 silent movie. It is sort of a comedy, but has remarkable stunts on a steam locomotive that are truly amazing. There is a final scene where a locomotive runs off a trestle and into the creek. Buster Keaton was quite a stunt man. This movie still ranks in the top 50 all time movies ever made.
