1927-silent • Buster Keaton
• With Live Accompaniment by Jelani Eddington on the Mighty Wurlitzer •
The inventive genius of Buster Keaton is in full swing in this beloved classic comedy-action-silent. Keaton
was a mechanical whiz who designed breathtaking stunts and gags. A master of physical comedy, he did
all of his own stunts. The climactic train chase in The General is not only the high point of the film, but it
represents a milestone in filmmaking. Old Town Music Hall is the ideal place to see The General, with
live musical accompaniment on the Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ.
