THE GENERAL is a 1926 silent comedy directed by Buster Keaton and Clyde Bruckman. One of Keaton’s finest silents though it is not perhaps his funniest. His physical comedy is peerless and his direction of the elaborate action sequences involving multiple moving trains has never been topped. Made a century ago with NO CGI and Keaton did his own stunt work. Few have been able to combine comedy and spectacle so effectively. In short—Buster is the best! Newly released on Eureka 4K.
This is an enjoyable movie to see what silent comedies were like. It is deliberately silly and a bit over the top. Definitely a must watch for those who want to experience older cinema.
I did not watch any of the extras.
