Directed by Buster Keaton
Live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner
(1926) Perhaps Keaton’s greatest work. His spectacular vision of the Civil War’s Great Locomotive Chase reveals his Griffith-level mastery of crowds and action (including the silent cinema’s most expensive single shot), along with perfectly-integrated comedy. DCP. Approx. 74 min.
Reviews
“Loaded with classic Keaton moments, but all within the context of an exciting story that never stops to take a breath… Comedies, silent or otherwise, do not come any better than this one.”
– Leonard Maltin, Family Film Guide
