The Music House Museum is proud to present Buster Keaton’s “The General”. A 1926 American silent comedy film released by United Artists. It was inspired by the Great Locomotive Chase, a true story of an event that occurred during the American Civil War. The story was adapted from the memoir The Great Locomotive Chase by William Pitenger. The film stars Buster Keaton who co-directed it with Clyde Brukma. The General has since been reevaluated, and is now often ranked among the greatest American films ever made, and was included in the first class of the Library of Congress Film Registry in 1989.
