Starring: Buster Keaton, Marion Mack, Charles Smith, Frank Barnes
Director: Buster Keaton, Clyde Bruckman
Keaton proves as endlessly clever and athletic as his screen surrogates...chock-full of hilarious sight gags, including bits of business that incorporate moving trains, cow-catchers, a bear (and bear trap), and a misbehaving cannon. [Blu-ray]
The General isn't likely to be the favorite opus of the star's purist fans, but it's the one with the trappings of ambition and historical poesy
Among the finest comedies of all time, it wears its greatness lightly.
Spectacular chases, fires and explosions are captured with fluid camerawork. There are no stunt doubles for Keaton and of course no digital effects.
Top CriticThe birth of slapstick.
Top CriticAmongst the greatest of all silent comedies, The General isn't just important, it's bloody hilarious.
The result is a flop.
Top CriticAn almost perfect entertainment.
Only superlatives will do to describe Keaton’s hilarious Civil War dramatic comedy.
This is by no means so good as Mr. Keaton's previous efforts.
Top CriticOne of the greatest comedies ever produced. It is Keaton at his inventive best.

Keaton's genius has never found more perfect expression.
Begins with a single, brilliantly sustained premise and works it into an engaging story with edge-of-your-seat excitement and stunningly conceived stunts and sight gags.
Vastly overrated; moderately charming but I think I laughed once.
