The General (1927) @ The Music Box
The General | January 12 & 13
Clyde Bruckman, 1927
Buster Keaton’s career reached its creative apex with this rousing comic adventure. Not merely one of the finest silent films, this remains one of the great film comedies of all time. The Great Stone Face stars as Southern railroad engineer Johnny Gray, a man with only two loves: the sweet Annabelle Lee (Marion Mack) and his trustworthy engine, the eponymous General.
