I'd never seen a Buster Keaton film before tonite. Now that I have, I want to see more.
All sorts of raves about The General. I was astounded by how well it held my attention. I was expecting this to be a clock watcher, but it wasn't at all. Fast paced with a lot of great gags.
On the DVD were also two featurettes. The Playhouse really stood out to me. Especially the dream he has in the beginning where he plays every character and often he will be on screen two or more times. At first I didn't notice that it was him and then it dawned on me and I began looking for the telltale line in the center of the screen and couldn't find it.
For the time this was put out, I think this is extraordinarily well done.
Go Buster!!
