About this product

Product Information

Double-feature of Buster Keaton classics, including:THE GENERAL - 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.STEAMBOAT BILL JR. - In STEAMBOAT BILL, JR., Buster Keaton plays the mild-mannered son of a steamboat captain caught in the middle of the bitter rivalry between his father and another Mississippi riverboat owner. This silent classic contains the famous stunt in which a cyclone blows down a two-story wall over Keaton who passes unharmed through an open window.

    The General

    Great old timer. Comedy spin on a tragic period of the United States. Least we forget the Dead on both sides.

  • Top critical review

    Keaton means comedy, but these two long films are not funny.

    Many years had passed since I saw Steamboat Bill Jr. and The General on television and I remembered very little about them. In making a collection of early comedies I ordered dvds of them. I was disappointed in both films. Buster Keaton is much better at short films than at long ones. In fact these two long films are not comedies. Keaton at times tried to be the former laugh stimulator but I failed to laugh. I'll watch them again some day when I play my Keaton collection again.

  • Title tells it all

    THE GENERAL is well done and is enjoyable. The steamboat movie was a waste of film and a waste of my time. Couldn't watch it all
