Only decades later was The General recognised as one of silent cinema’s greatest comedies. The General is a Civil War tale, the fictionalized account of an attempted hijacking of a Confederate train called the General by Union spies in 1862. The great expense that such moments incurred was remembered when the film was a commercial disaster, to the cost of Keaton’s future creative freedoms. Buster Keaton's masterpiece and one of the greatest silent movies of all time was filmed in the Cottage Grove area in the summer of 1926. The film is a seamless blend of action and comedy, involving a great number of stunts – including the famous sequence in which a bridge bearing a railroad train collapses into a gorge. The General (1927) is an imaginative masterpiece of dead-pan Stone-Face Buster Keaton comedy, generally regarded as one of the greatest of all silent. The train driver who goes in dogged pursuit of his beloved engine is a classic Keaton character: stoical, determined and preternaturally straight-faced as chaos reigns around him. The General follows Confederate railroad engineer Johnnie Gray (Keaton) as he defends his town of Marietta, Georgia from some nefarious Union soldiers. Taking inspiration from a real Civil War incident when Union soldiers hijacked a Confederate train, The General was silent comedian Buster Keaton’s most grandly conceived project. ![]()
