The General (1926 Film)
''The General'' is a 1926 American silent film released by United Artists. It was inspired by the Great Locomotive Chase, a true story of an event that occurred during the American Civil War. The story was adapted from the 1889 memoir ''The Great Locomotive Chase'' by William Pittenger. The film stars Buster Keaton who co-directed it with Clyde Bruckman. At the time of its initial release, ''The General'', an action-adventure-comedy made toward the end of the silent era, was not well received by critics and audiences, resulting in mediocre box office returns (about half a million dollars domestically, and approximately one million worldwide).

In 1954 the film entered the public domain in the United States because its claimant did not renew its copyr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
