Silent Cinema Showcase: THE GENERAL 100th Anniversary featuring live musical accompaniment by the Anvil OrchestraWhen the Civil War breaks out, railroad engineer Johnnie Gray (Buster Keaton) tries to join the Confederate army to make his fiancée (Marion Mack) proud. Deeming his profession a valuable Southern asset, the army rejects him for service as a soldier — and so his fiancée rejects him as well. But after Union spies steal his beloved locomotive (and his girl along with it), Johnnie springs into daring action. Keaton’s deadpan drollery, pitch-perfect comedic timing and incredible physical talent and bravery make this one of the greatest silent-era comedies. Silent with English intertitles. NOT RATED
