	The General (1927)
		The General (1927) is an imaginative masterpiece of dead-pan "Stone-Face" Buster Keaton comedy, generally regarded as one of the greatest of all silent comedies (and Keaton's own favorite) - and undoubtedly the best train film ever made.
		Another locale for the film was around Cottage Grove, Oregon alongside Oregon's Row River, where a half-mile stretch of narrow-gauge track was found for the two ancient, wood-burning, steam locomotives that figured prominently in the film (the General and the Texas).
		The film concludes with a climactic battle at a river gorge, with the dramatic crash of the pursuit train into the Rock River in the film's most spectacular scene - and the most expensive shot of the entire silent era.

	The General (Site not responding. Last check: )
		One of the other remarkable things about the film is that it seemingly has a cast of hundreds, all in hot pursuit of our hero.
		Luckily, the contrast of the film is such that it's hard to tell that all nine Busters onstage are wearing flface, but we've already seen the poster in the lobby.
		At least the film is silent, although it doesn't look like Keaton is portraying any of the nine as Stepin Fetchit.

	The General (1927)
		In the scenes with the opposing armies marching, Keaton had the extras (which included Oregon National Guard troops) wear the uniforms of the Confederacy and march in one direction past the camera, then he had them change uniforms to the Union blue and had them march past the camera in the other direction.
		Continuity: When the General is first stolen, Johnny is washing his hands; when he sees the train pulling away, he walks away from the sink with his hands covered in soap, but in the following reverse shot where he tells the passengers what has happened, his hands are clean.
		Everything about it was superb, while his other films made me laugh, this is the only silent to make me laugh so hard my sides hurt.

	goatdog's movies - The General, 1927
		This is perhaps Buster Keaton's greatest film, and perhaps one of the greatest films of the silent era.
		He is judged necessary to the war effort in his capacity as conductor, so his enlistment is refused, prompting a lengthy, hilarious sequence in which he tries to sneak into the service, terrified that his girl will think him a coward if he doesn't show up with the uniform.
		The film was so expensive that the crew couldn't afford to pay for the removal of the train, and it wasn't until World War II that the wreck was salvaged from the river for scrap metal.

		The film was acclaimed for its authenticity and location photography, though critics largely ignored the predictable story and weak performances.
		The filming and projection standard for sound films is 24 frames per second (fps), but silent films would be filmed and shown at speeds ranging from 12-26 fps.
		Some films were made on distant locations when it was cheaper, or the results could not be achieved at the studio.

	The General (1927)
		Arguably the greatest of Buster Keaton’s silent comedies, The General begins with a single, brilliantly sustained premise and works it into an engaging story that combines edge-of-your-seat excitement, stunningly conceived stunts and sight gags, spectacular set pieces, touching sentiment, and a rousing finale.
		Essentially a chase film, The General tells the Civil War-era tale of stoic young Confederate railroad engineer Johnnie Gray (Keaton), whose precious train is stolen — and beloved Annabelle (Marion Mack) kidnapped — by Union spies.
		Part of The General’s strength is its historical persuasiveness; the look of the film was meant to evoke Matthew Brady’s Civil War photographs, and though a comedy The General has an authentic period feel unmatched by dramatic Civil War films.
