 bolshevikjoe, Public Domain clip of Buster Keaton’s “The General” Jun 15, 2006, running time 0:06:46
The film “The General” is considered by many to be Buster Keaton’s greatest film.
Acrobatic, quirky, and quite amusing the 1927 piece still works today.
Comment
@danlefou
The gun is an accurate copy of a Federal rail-mounted mortar called the “Dictator”,
used in the siege of Petersburg, Virginia in 1864.
It could fire a 13-inch shell two miles on 14 lb of powder!

The General (1927) is a classic and very funny silent film about the true loves of Johnny Grey (Buster Keaton),
his girl and his locomotive -- not necessarily in that order.

 danieljbmitchell, Jean Shepherd Plays Audio Recording of Civil War Locomotive: The General Jul 26, 2011, running time 0:11:57
The General is a famous artifact of the Civil War.
A train pulled by the General was seized in 1862 by Union soldiers in Georgia,
leading to a chase dramatized in the 1927 Buster Keaton silent movie “The General.”
Information on that episode and the subsequent history of the locomotive is readily available on the web.
Jean Shepherd played this audio recording on his program on WOR, New York City, October 11, 1973

 soundandscreen, David Drazin, Live Piano, Buster Keaton in “The General,” National Archives Sep 22, 2011, running time 0:14:13
Buster Keaton, Nat’l Archives, Wash., D.C.
The General is what I like to call: The Greatest Movie Ever Made!
Accompanying it at The National Archives in Washington, D.C. was an honor!
When show time came I was jittery.
The microphone was inside the piano.
As a result, you don’t hear the audience very much.
But Yes! I could hear them.
You’ll probably see the picture flickering.
That’s because the frame rate of a film print is not the same as the video camera.
But the audience didn’t see any flickering.
My policy about accompanying The General is if Buster Keaton is not on the screen the movie is serious,
if he’s on it’s funny.
Recorded music published previously with the reissued film has been excellent
though it emphasizes what’s BIG about the movie, which to me suppresses what’s funny.
Since the 1920s were the Jazz Age, I’ve gone for Hot Jazz here even though Jazz didn’t exist in the Civil War.
For me, the energy, the momentum of the picture is Jazz.

 Nitehawk Cinema, Buster Keaton’s THE GENERAL: A Live Music & Moving Images Event Jan 5, 2012, running time 0:01:34
BUSTER KEATON plays engineer Johnnie Gray, a man with two loves:
his trusty steam engine (The General) and his fiance Annabelle Lee.
The General is stolen by Union spies with Annabelle on board,
Johnnie procures another locomotive and the chase begins.
The film is essentially one big chase sequence, brilliantly constructed and expanded to feature length.
Within that framework Buster Keaton stages a series of beautifully choreographed and increasingly dangerous stunts.
The General is an epic of silent comedy, one of the most expensive films of its time.
It is equal parts farce, action flick and period piece.
The General is consistently ranked among the greatest films ever made.
HAYES GREENFIELD and the ECLECTIC ELECTRIC will perform LIVE,
providing a musical score and soundscape as fast and fresh as a locomotive.
Hayes Greenfield is an award-winning film composer and musician living and working in New York City for over 30 years.
As a film composer, Hayes has scored more than 60 films, documentaries, commercials, and TV specials.
Many have received awards, including the prestigious Emmy and Telly.
As performer/saxophonist, Hayes has released 10 critically acclaimed CD’s
and toured throughout the US, Canada, and Europe with his own bands.
The Eclectic Electric marries extensive musical stylistic history
of composition, film, improvisation, sound design, acoustic and electronic instruments and effects
into a groundbreaking aural cornucopia that pushes the envelope of silent film and interpretive music and sound.
The Eclectic Electric is comprised of Paul Socolow and Todd Turkisher.
Todd Turkisher plays drums, percussion and electronics.
Among the hundreds of musicians he has played, toured, and recorded with
include David Byrne, Ute Lemper, and African drum master Baba Olatunji.
He performed on Selena’s “Dreaming of You,”
and Baba Olatunji’s grammy nominated CD “Love Drum Talk”.
Todd
Paul Socolow, bass, guitar and electronics was NYC born and raised.
Paul has recorded and toured extensively with
David Byrne, Bill Frisell, Bobby McFerrin, The Roches, Herbie Mann, Marc Ribot, Uri Caine, Gato Barbieri and countless others.

 elkriverharmonicas, The General - Full Movie w/ roots music soundtrack Jul 4, 2012, running time 1:45:44
www.elkriverharmonicas.com
Buster Keaton, Hollywood’s first action hero - and a real one - who didn’t just pretend to defy death -
he faced actual death with nearly ever crazy stunt in this movie.
Orsen Wells called this the greatest film ever made and for good reason.
Not only is it incredible, but the effects are timeless - because they are not effects, they are real.
Buster Keaton defied death numerous times with these dangerous stunts.
This movie is in the public domain - in the for real public domain,
not just like when people say something is in the public domain because it’s old.
The background music is played by either me, my family or my friends.
I LOVE silent movies, always have.
There’s this disconnect between modern society and the silent movie -
thus some of the greatest movies ever made go unseen.
How often do you see Metropolis, Intolerance, Birth of A Nation, The General or Nosferatu on television?
I’ve always thought that a major reason for this disconnect wasn’t necessarily the absence of spoken dialogue,
but there’s nothing in the sounds heard that modern folks can relate to -
I’m hoping that with a nice Southern roots soundtrack -
that in my opinion totally fits the spirit of “The General”
might improve that experience for some.
This truly is one of the greatest movies ever made.
Buster Keaton had a great deal of control of the production of this movie and it cost 3/4 of a million dollars to make it.
It was a box-office bomb - and because of that, Buster had to relinquish a lot of his control in future movies...
it’s not the only truly great movie that bombed, it joins the ranks of Intolerance and Citizen Kane.

 Alessandro Fabbri, Lumiére - The General, Buster Keaton - live 2012 Sep 15, 2012, running time 0:09:30
I Lumiére sono:
Vanni Crociani al piano e sintetizzatori Alessandro Fabbri alle percussioni, ai tubi e alle grondaie.
Il progetto musicale del duo è strettamente legato al cinema,
alle prime pellicole mute, quando il suono si poteva solo immaginare.
L’esibizione dei Lumierè è una sorta di colonna sonora,
il vestito del film, da ascoltare ma anche da osservare.
Questo video, girato nel settembre 2012, è un frammento estratto da un'esibizione live,
sul celebre film The General, di Buster Keaton, 1927.
L’esigenza di raccontare il suono di un treno, protagonista di tutto il film, è
stata sviluppata attraverso la nostra Installazione Sonorizzata;
una scultura fatta di tubi, grondaie e percorsi ferrosi, in cui sfere e biglie scivolano e si muovono,
creando suggestioni sonore che si diffondono in quadrifonia nello spazio circostante.

Legendaria película de cine mudo, donde una locomotora (La General) es el hilo conductor de la película.
Se enfrentan los ejércitos del norte y del sur de los Estados Unidos en la época de la guerra civil americana.
Buster Keaton es un enamorado de los ferrocarriles y muchas de sus películas tratan con este medio de transporte,
tranvías (e.g. Our hospitality (1923) ... ).

 Fart813, The General 1926 Silent Movie, Tampa Theatre,Buster Keaton Aug 12, 2013, running time 0:15:31
This is a portion of the great 1926 silent movie the general with buster keaton,at the historical tampa theatre movie palace in tampa florida. accompanied live by renowned theatrical organist Dr. Steven Ball on Tampa Theatre’s Mighty Wurlitzer Organ
I’m not hear to make money , just to share some good quality entertainment that needs to be preserved.
Comments @yelloweyes2 I enjoyed so much earing the people laugh with this masterpiece! Buster Keaton deserves all honors. @Katchatiger Right said!
Cropped by about 25%, top, left, and bottom;
the aperture is about .553"×.847" rather than .6796"×.90625", and the image is misframed, to boot.
Here, this isn’t exact, but it shows you what I mean: 
This is why I almost never attend 35mm movies.
This problem is ubiquitous, and in most 35mm cinemas it’s much worse than this.

Hollywood Theatre.
Thursday September 5th, 2013.
Excerpts from the silent film classic “The General” starring Buster Keaton,
with live organ accompaniment by organist Dean Lemire
Historic marquee lighting ceremony
It was an amazing night at the Hollywood Theatre!
_____________________(event promotion info)_________________
SOLD OUT!
To celebrate the installation of our new marquee,
the Hollywood Theatre presented a 35mm screening of Buster Keaton’s THE GENERAL
with live organ accompanied by Dean Lemire, performing his original score on the Wurlitzer pipe organ
(Thanks to the Columbia River Theater Organ Society.)
 The crowds came out to marvel at the new marquee as well as experience an amazing film that was shot in Oregon
and made the same year as the theatre was built, 1926!
THE GENERAL is considered by critics to be one of the greatest films ever made --
and a live organ soundtrack will make it a cinematic experience not to be missed!
Organist Dean Lemire will be performing his original score live on the Hollywood Theatre’s mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ.
________________________________________________
Dean Lemire is a native of Portland, Oregon.
He started playing the piano at the age of five.
His training in classical piano was with Mary Dunlap, Music Department Chair, at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon.
Dean is a staff organist at Oaks Park Roller Rink , Portland, Oregon,
where, for over 40 years, holds forth at the console of the mighty 4/18 Wurlitzer Pipe Organ.
Dean can be heard playing the Oaks Park Wurlitzer on the last Sunday night of each month
as well as performing jazz piano and various venues and events in the Portland area.

 Stadtkino Filmverleih, Trailer THE GENERAL (USA 1926) von Buster Keaton (OV) Nov 12, 2013, running time 0:01:13
The General, eine der großen und dauerhaften Stummfilmkomödien,
bezieht seinen Titel von dem Namen der Maschine, um den sich der ganze Film dreht.
Es ist eine durch Unionstruppen entführte Lokomotive, die der Südstaatenheld mitsamt seiner Angebeteten rettet.
The General erhält seine humoristischen Glanzlichter dadurch,
daß er Geschehnisse von wilder Komik vor einem authentisch rekonstruierten Hintergrund ablaufen läßt,
dessen oft außerordentliche visuelle Schönheit an die Bürgerkriegsfotografien Matthew Bradys erinnert.
(Buchers Enzyklopädie des Films)
Buster Keaton: “Ich bin auf diesen Film stolzer als auf jeden anderen, den ich gemacht habe.
Ich habe ein Blatt aus dem Geschichtsbuch genommen und mich in allen Details daran gehalten.”

Autour de ce classique de Buster Keaton, Maria Mosconi, Illya Amar et Christophe Girard
se détachent de l’image à volonté pour prendre le burlesque à contre pied.
Immense succès populaire, ce film est une véritable épopée ferroviaire
avec poursuites, cascades, histoire d’amour, un bijou de poésie
entre les mains d’un merveilleux clown triste.
Inspirés par ces images, ce trio aussi éclectique qu’uni,
évolue entre le jazz, la musique de chambre et l’électronique.
Les artistes offrent ainsi une partition élaborée accompagnant
le spectateur dans une relecture cinématographique unique.

Comments
@ZekPatterson
Finally got around to catching this flick, I loved every second of it!
@Dallas-Nyberg
You are right Chris.... I have this movie on DVD...a couple of years ago, my 12 yo daughter decided to watch it... I could hear her chuckling away at Buster's antics and she was totally immersed in the story. She became oblivious to the fact that it was a silent movie.
It is now one of favourite movies.
Once she had seen an “olden day” movie, she asked if I had any more....
I gave her my boxed set of Ma & Pa Kettle movies to watch... she loved them...
Cheers
@maple1232
Hi Chris, Thanks for putting me on to this film. Mr Keaton was some stunt man eh?
Silent films with trains are my new obsession!!
@Jaidencharlotte
I found the full film on YouTube while I was at school
It was a very enjoyable free period

Try to see it with a live musical accompaniment, preferably played on a theatre pipe organ. Theatre organist Gaylord Carter played this picture his entire career.

I joined a couple thousand San Diegans in Balboa Park on 8/24/2016 to watch Buster Keaton in “The General”.
With the big Spreckels pipe organ and appreciative audience ... is this what silent movies were like ninety years ago?
Here’s some clips that I took with my iPhone; a little editing in Final Cut Pro X
The evening was presented by the Spreckels Organ society; Tom Trenney was the very talented organist.

It’s a war movie, a love movie, a train movie, and a chase movie all in one!
What more could you ask for from what many consider to be the greatest silent movie ever made?
It’s Buster Keaton doing his own stunts in 1926’s “The General”,
with nonstop comedy and drama as he saves his two true loves:
his beloved locomotive, “The General”, and his girlfriend, Annabelle Lee.

Buster Keaton’s 1926 silent comedy classic “The General”
at Tampa Theatre in celebration of the majestic movie palace’s recently completed restoration work,
which returned portions of the historic landmark back to their original 1926 aesthetics.

I got curious:
This is why every cinema manager hated my guts.
Because I had the audacity to point out this problem and because I offered to help.
FOR FREE!!!
That’s why I was not allowed back.

 samuel_h_james, ‘The General’ Buster Keaton 1926 Contemporary Score - Samuel H James & Hana Spooner Wednesday, July 18, 2018, at 6:44 AM EST, running time 1:19:12 (Kino K669, desaturated)
In 2014 Samuel H James was approached by Joel Ransom, an associate of the Kings Theatre, Southsea, Portsmouth,
to create a contemporary score for one of Buster Keaton’s most celebrated works, ‘The General’ (1926).
This was to feature as a major contribution to the ‘Making Waves Film Festival 2015’.
In order to achieve a dynamic range of instrumentation,
Samuel invited Hana Spooner, classically trained in piano and violin, to collaborate on the project.
Their unique partnership allowed an exciting new development to unfold -
juxtaposing experimental sound with traditional techniques.
“Hana and I were inspired by the process of improvising music to complement the moving image,
as had been employed in silent films during the 1920s.
We felt that this approach encompassed a romantic ideology.
Hana brought a playful lightness to the score
which proved to be the perfect counterpoint to the discordant, experimental phrasing.”
The completed works was premiered at the Kings Theatre in September 2015.
Hana Spooner: Upright Piano, Hammond,
Keyboard, Viola, Violin.
Samuel H James: Sound design, Foley, Clarinet, Soprano/Alto Saxophone,
Hammond Keyboard, Electric Guitar, Electronic/Acoustic treatments and ‘other worldly’ sounds.

It’s obvious what I chose to do,
but if anyone would care to enlighten me on how to reduce the aspect ratio to 4:3
or would take it upon them to do it themselves, be my guest.

 Ray The Tracer, Stencil Movie (black OR white): The General 1926 Buster Keaton Feb 16, 2019, running time 1:15:38 (Kino K669)
What life looks like in black OR white ?
You’ve seen color movies as well as B/W movies,
but will your brain still work with zero shades of grey,
when pixels can only be black or white ?
Nothing on YouTube matched these criteria (basically “life in animated stencils”) so I did it,
using this movie because it’s in the public domain (this video is not monetized BTW).
Lesson 1: Each frame must be “stencilized” individually,
otherwise a scene will either be too black or too white (aka unwatchable).
This adds a lot of compute time because you have to find the right threshold spot between black and white,
by analyzing the whole picture beforehand.
Lesson 2: It works better with a B/W movie. I first tried using “Charade” (1963),
a color movie, but somehow it wasn’t “enlightened” the way they did for B/W,
and therefore the result wasn’t as convincing.
Lesson 3: The original work must be of good quality.
A poor encoding will result in big squares on the screen.
Not good.
Does it work ?
Yes (TMHO).
And to explain my humble opinion I must quote Wilhelm Worringer,
a famous german art historian who stated that art is both “Abstraktion” (the spirit, the signified)
and “Einfuhlung” (the empathy, the reality, the sign).
In this case, “stencilizing” the movie preserves its mind without most of its body,
retaining its “signified” without most of its signs.
It is in fact the exact opposite of hyperrealism.
But rather than “subrealism” I like to call it “hyperabstraction”.
That’s just my opinion.

Interview with Buster Keaton
@marialuizamcdonough9723
Buster Keaton is a great comedian actor.
I can’t contain myself from laughing when I watch huis movies.
I love seeing Buster Keaton acting with the actresses he falls in love with in the story.
He seems to have been a very kind man.
Thanks for this wonderful interview with my favorite actor comedian, Buster Keaton.
@kevins.butler3402
I’m not a Buster Keaton fan..but his stories about Vaudeville
and the early days of film are interesting pieces of show biz history..including his admiration for Lillian Russell.

The great comedian and film director reflects on six decades in show business.
From his christening as Buster by Harry Houdini to tips on how to throw a pie and keep his saucer-brimmed pork-pie hat in shape,
this profile captures the man behind the great stone face and evokes the long-gone early years of cinematic comedy.
Aired April 17, 1964 on CBC’s Telescope.

Top Documentary Films: The Real Buster Keaton
During the 1910s, popular comedy shorts preceded more esteemed features.
By the 1920s, however, comedy developed into a mass-observed genre of feature lengths
with stars like Buster Keaton and Charles Chaplin.
Silent film, by just referring to its title, suggested a dependence on physical action-slapstick-for comedians.
But this alone did not distinguish silent film comedy’s capabilities.
Similar action, albeit with sound, had been performed on vaudeville stages and circus arenas.
To this end, silent film needed to offer comedians something more to explain its durability with an abounding audience;
although the aspect of mass-exhibition is a crucial one when considering the various medium-specific strategies offered to comedians.
A focus on the aforementioned performers’ careers offers an explanation
as to how this relationship with not only the medium, but also the audience, affected their approach to silent film comedy.
Through the analysis of Sherlock Jr. (1924), The Saphead (1920), and The Immigrant (1917),
film evidently offered itself as a representational art form of time and space
that could be manipulated to convey a complicated gag and a more sophisticated story.
This was accomplished through the comedians’ use of medium-exclusive techniques
as well as the development of a filmic persona that worked both for and against audience expectation.
Before any examination of what silent film specifically offered comedians occurs,
one must first acknowledge cinema’s general contribution to performers as well as audiences.
Before cinema, live performances such as circuses and music halls were the major venues for inexpensive entertainment (Bordwell 3).
Yet because these performances were live, the constriction of time and space limited certain exhibition possibilities.
For a specific performance, there was only one time and space to see it;
there would evidently be a smaller crowd than that of a performance shown in various locations at multiple times.
(This should be called The Fake Buster Keaton.
Almost totally wrong.)

STEPHAN GRAF VON BOTHMER: Buster Keaton - THE GENERAL - in concert
Supporting film: THE EGG Stan Laurel Solofilm before he met Oliver Hardy Delicious!
The film is one of the most important comedies in the history of film and is based on a true story:
The locomotive driver Johnnie Gray (Buster Keation) tries to win back “his” locomotive “General”,
which was hijacked by northern spies, and at the same time the heart of his beloved ones.
Of course with the most bizarre ideas.
The work was written at the height of Keaton’s fame
and is considered one of the most expensive comedies of the silent movie era.
The failure of the production with the audience and critics
brought the end of Keaton’s financial and therefore also artistic independence.
When his meanwhile forgotten silent movies were rediscovered at the end of the 1950’s,
“The General” became the centre of attention.
Since then, the film has ranked among the most important comedies of all time
within the reception due to its stringent dramaturgy and ambitious image design.

Silent films of the early 1900s are products of a different era.
Some may contain scenes or depictions presented in a light-hearted way
that are interpreted today as racist, misogynistic, or culturally insensitive.
Circle Cinema does not present these scenes as an endorsement, but from an historical film perspective.
As Oklahoma is resettled land of Indigenous Peoples
and with the upcoming centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre,
we feel it is important to see these scenes and hope
that it may spark reflection and change towards many of the problematic aspects that are still prevalent today.
Thank you, and enjoy the program.

“An astounding feat of creative musicianship”
wrote The New Yorker’s Alex Ross about pianist-composer Matan Porat’s musical improvisations to silent films.
Porat joined us in our hall in January 2016 to perform a completely improvised original score
accompanying a screening of the Buster Keaton silent movie Orson Welles called,
“perhaps the greatest film ever made.”
See the film and hear Porat’s extraordinary score—full of humor
and tragedy and whimsy and imagination—in this premiere screening of that brilliant 2016 performance.

This sounds about a professional as an open mic comedian having to stretch for an hour with just five minutes of material
@DamTheKid
Just wait until you realize that instead of a theme to the music he just reuses things in different keys
@DamTheKid
Who is this on piano and why does he sound like a toddler playing with a newfound object before an adult comes to stop him???

Why does it sound so bad and why were all the live comments talking about how the piano is the worst part of the video. Big fail

The General is 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 1889 memoir The Great Locomotive Chase by William Pittenger.
The film stars Buster Keaton who
At the time of its initial release, The General,
an action-adventure-comedy made toward the end of the silent era,
was not well received by critics and audiences,
resulting in mediocre box office returns
(about half a million dollars domestically, and approximately one million worldwide).
Because of its then-huge budget ($750,000 supplied by Metro chief Joseph Schenck)
and failure to turn a significant profit,
Keaton lost his independence as a filmmaker and was forced into a restrictive deal with MGM.
In 1954 the film entered the public domain in the United States because its claimant did not renew its copyright registration in the 28th year after
The General has since been reevaluated, and is now often ranked among the greatest American films ever made.
In 1989, it was selected by the Library of Congress
to be included in the first class of films for preservation in the National Film Registry for being
“culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

Not a video, but an audio podcast.
Very odd. The background is based pretty much entirely on Marion Meade’s book,
which is why pretty much every factual claim is in error.
The three participants also misinterpret and misunderstand the films.
I tried to leave a comment but it was too long to fit and I couldn’t figure out how to shorten it.
Well, at least they liked the movies, and they did have some nice things to say.
What’s more, there is still some fascinating stuff to listen to,
especially 02:20:12, the interview with Gus Macmillan of the Blue Grassy Knoll.
Oh how I wish they had pursued the copyright case in court.
It would have been messy, but they would have won,
since, yes, the films by then really were in the public domain, at least in the US,
and, I would imagine, worldwide, too.

Locomotion: Trains in the Movies & the Stories Behind Them.
Hop aboard, as we discover together the fascinating and colorful history of trains in the movies,
how they are made and the artists who created them.
In The General, Buster Keaton’s Silent Masterpiece Part 1,
we’ll explore the work of a film genius at the height of his creative powers.Today
The General is regarded today as one of the greatest American films.
When compared to other silent pictures of the era,
Keaton’s editing and pacing feels modern.
As a film maker and train lover, it’s a movie I never tire of watching.
If you enjoyed Part 1, we invite you to watch Part 2:
We’ll explore the downs and ups of Buster Keaton’s career and life.
We’ll see how his silent masterpiece and the real civil war engines
from The Great Locomotive Chase were very nearly lost forever,
how they were saved from destruction and finally restored.
We’ll learn what happened to the engines Keaton used to film
The General and other movies shot on the same Oregon railroad.

@sirrliv
This is an incredible series! I’m so glad I stumbled across it. Here's wishing you the best of success in future.
One of my favorite stories from the filming of this movie,
which I learned at a local live screening some years ago
(with live musical accompaniment no less, quite the experience)
was that when filming the climactic Bridge Collapse sequence,
no one told the actor playing the Union general what was going to happen.
So when the camera cut back to him after the collapse,
the look of gobsmacked astonishment was entirely genuine.
P.S. Just putting the thought out there, but perhaps an idea for this series’ next big anniversary episode,
be it 10th, 25th, whichever you deem fit,
might be the appropriate time to look at this films famed counterpart, Walt Disney's “The Great Locomotive Chase” (1956).

Regarded today as one of the greatest American films,
The General certainly ranks among the best railroad movies ever made.
In Part 2, we’ll explore the downs and ups of Buster Keaton’s career and life.
We’ll see how his silent masterpiece and the real civil war engines
from The Great Locomotive Chase were very nearly lost forever,
how they were saved from destruction and finally restored.
We’ll learn what happened to the engines Keaton used to film The General and other movies shot on the same Oregon railroad.
If you haven’t watched Part 1 give it a look.
We’ll explore the work of a film genius at the height of his creative powers.
Discover how Keaton staged the most expensive special effects sequence of the silent era
and the dangerous stunts he preformed himself that remain iconic to this day.

This film finds hapless Southern railroad engineer Johnny Gray (Buster Keaton)
facing off against Union soldiers during the American Civil War.
When Johnny’s fiancée, Annabelle Lee (Marion Mack),
is accidentally taken away while on a train stolen by Northern forces.

@DC4260Productions
This was a very enticing story, and if anything, it must be one of the most famous moments in the history of
No wonder Buster Keaton made a film about The General. And I’m amazed the original locomotive is preserved.
@anarchopupgirl
As I was watching this, I was going “this sounds like that buster keaton scene I watched once” so that explains that
@spamcan9208
I love that movie.
@bruceraykiewicz6274
A chance meeting!
I met a person, DIRECTLY connected to the Great Locomotive Chase.
His last name is Pittenger.
June of 2015, I was at a ‘live steam’ meet in Chilaquin, Or. at the Train Mountain facility.
As I was loading up my engine and rolling stock, getting ready to leave,
I noticed an older man(not as old as me) helping me.
His formal hat badge, said his name was So and So, Pittenger.
Many miles later, that last name hits me !!
There was a William Pittenger in the Andrews party.
In one of my books about the great locomotive chase, this name is mentioned.
And, it said that he was laid to rest in the San Diego area of California.
So, this gentleman helping me, was a direct ancestor of one of the Great locomotive Chase participants.
Ya can’t make this kind of stuff up !!!
Strange incident! Sorry for the long post again.
@s.t.e_1855
AND they actually made a movie about it! In... 1926 by buster keaton and its called the general!
Best train movie ever definitely recomend watching
@theappalachiarailfans
Ever since I was little, I have loved American railroad history.
And then I saw “The General”, a fictional movie made by Buster Keaton,
based off of the Great Locomotive Chase.
And that’s how I became fascinated with the civil war.
And so now, two words that could be used to some up my interests are “railroad” and “America”.
@jratileco
The General didn’t “wear” number 3 until 1880. It’s first number was 39.
@michaelmckinnon7314
The General actually last ran in the 1980s,
so did the Texas and when it comes to the Buster Keaton movie the bridge collapse was unplanned,
the only reason I know the last time both Locomotives ran is because I rode behind a double header.
@shaunbolton4662
Sorry Michael, but the bridge collapse in ‘The General’ was very carefully planned and prepared.
The bridge was built for the picture and specially weakened for the wreck scene which was shot with several cameras.
It was the most expensive shot of the silent era.
@michaelmckinnon7314
the bridge collapse in “The General” was shot on an active rail line
with a locomotive that was still in service and the reason it was the most expensive shot of the silent film era
was because the studio had to pay for the locomotive destroyed in the scene because of the bridge collapse,
not because they built their own bridge
(the locomotive was built in 1923 and the film was shot in 1929 if I remember correctly
from having read about the movie from one of the people involved in the making it).
It’s true that the studio was thinking about making their own bridge,
but “the cost was more than the studio wanted to spend”
(it would have cost $165,000 at the time)
leading to the studio using the existing bridge and when it collapsed the film crew was startled by it,
they weren’t expecting it to happen which wouldn’t make sense if the studio planned for it to happen
(the camera jolt in the scene was from the shocked cameraman)
who was expecting to have three days more shooting the film
which was supposed to be 20 minutes plus longer as it was a feature film.
@shaunbolton4662
Oh, Michael- look at the way the bridge sags when the ‘General’ crosses it...
you really think that bridge was in active service?
The movie was made in 1926, and the wrecked locomotive was built in the 19th century, probably circa 1880.
The wreck was planned, as is obvious from watching the movie- the townsfolk even came to watch it happen.
Oh, and the ‘engineer’ in the cab was a dummy.
Sorry to dispute your take on the making of ‘The General’, but it’s just plain wrong.
@clayrydick4561
I had no idea that it was an actual event!
I grew up watching buster keaton’s movie,
and I’ve seen the valley where the famous burning bridge scene was filmed,
a couple hours south of me in Oregon, but as I said, I had NO idea it was real!

Bravo! Please keep it up.

i’m watching this fantastic film again
with ofcourse the fantastic sounds played by kaiser fraser the theater organplayer lol
@MarekMichalakMusic
This was phenomenal, Fraser!
I knew of silent films but never attended or seen one such event,
so this was the first time ever I saw this old art live in action and I loved every bit of it.
I can’t imagine the workout you endured for the duration of the film
and the crafty knowledge of music and its effects you must have to be able to accompany a movie like that.
Very impressive!!!!!! Bravo!
As a huge film music fan of the second half of the 20th century,
it was amazing seeing the beginnings of film music live in action.
Thank you for that!
@jezm1703
This was really enjoyable.
You must do more of them.
At times I had to remind myself that you were doing it live,
the accompaniments were so apt !
Bravo indeed
@alexanderwunderlich5116
Outstanding! Unfassbar! Fraser, alle meine Erwartungen hast du maßlos übertroffen!
@grahamtwist
I was really disappointed not to be able to join you live for this ‘Silent Film Night’ . . .
but the joy of an upload to YouTube is that you can watch it time and time again, and whenever you want!
As someone remarked in the chat, without the music you provided, Fraser,
to set the mood and highlight the comedy and drama and romance . . . the film loses so much.
And even with ‘talkies’, take away the music and you often have less than half a good film.
Where would ‘Psycho’ be without those screeching Herrmann violins?
Where would ‘Casablanca’ be without Hupfeld’s ‘As Time Goes By’?
And where would ‘The General’ be without Gartshore’s theatre organ improvisations?
The locomotive might have been the star of the screen in this film . . .
but all is eclipsed by your amazing soundtrack: B R A V O !
@maurofarrugia8546
Dear Fraser this is outstanding...! Well done indeed - in my opinion this is your best broadcast to date
BRAVO
@CameraTim-DAMMITDOTcom
Brilliant!! I’ve only seen shorts with live accompaniment at the Capri in South Australia
(Tony Fenelon to a Tom and Jerry, and a younger guy to newly made silents,
but I just can’t remember his name at the moment).
To improv for that length is amazing, and for it to be good too!
I’ve a DVD with a terrible meandering synth accomp to a classic silent
that bears no relation to the feel of the scenes, basically its just elevator music.
You did it like it’s meant to be done.
I just play for fun, I can’t compose or improv.
We used to see some of the shortish Charlie Chaplins in school on 16mm,
Keystone Kops on TV, the odd Laurel and Hardy, back in the 1970s,
and later
When I finally got around to seeing some Buster Keaton films I can see why The Goodies (BBC) admired him.
@RoDi01
Ich hab tatsächlich recht viel zu tun, es freut mich aber dass Ihr an mich und James gedacht habt (57:00).

(So far I’ve mainly been talking about credit cards,
but I’d like to take a break and talk about my hobbies.
I love silent movies (comedies) and have been studying them since my days at Waseda University.
I was particularly fond of Buster Keaton, one of the world’s three great comedians.
I became obsessed with his unique and out-of-the-ordinary gags,
and I believe that the know-how I gained from this can be used to create and analyze credit card services.

la fidanzata Annabelle Lee e la locomotiva “The General” della quale è il macchinista.
Quando il conflitto scoppia va ad arruolarsi per far contenta la dolce metà ma non viene accolto nelle file dell’esercito.
Questo implica una separazione e la situazione si complica
quando la locomotiva viene rubata dai nordisti e Annabelle viene sequestrata,
senza che Johnny inizialmente lo sappia.
Messosi all’inseguimento del mezzo di locomozione finirà con lo sventare i piani del nemico.
Come spesso è accaduto nella storia del Cinema Keaton realizza un capolavoro che sarà però un flop al box office.
Il film infatti finì con il costare 750.000 dollari
(ivi compreso il precipitare di un vero treno in un fiume)
incassandone negli USA solo 474.264.
La base della narrazione stava in un episodio realmente accaduto
nel corso della guerra civile americana descritto in dettaglio nel 1863 in
“Daring and Suffering. A History of the Great Railroad Adventure”
libro scritto da un ufficiale nordista, il tenente William Pittenger.
Keaton lo legge e vi apporta sostanziali modifiche. Innanzitutto imposta il film
partendo dal macchinista con lo scopo di non collocare i sudisti
nel ruolo dei cattivi di turno.
Fondamentalmente trasforma il fallimento di un’azione nordista
in un’importante vittoria dei sudisti realizzando così
comunque quello che verrà definito come il primo film comico-storico della storia del cinema.
L’imperturbabilità del suo volto viene qui messa
in luce in tutte le sue potenzialità comiche a partire dalle sequenze iniziali
in cui si reca dall’amata, seguito in modo imperterrito da due ragazzini che sono suoi ammiratori.
A ciò si aggiunga che tutta l’azione viene preceduta da una convinzione errata del protagonista.
Mentre lo spettatore viene messo a conoscenza del fatto che Johnny
non è stato arruolato in quanto ritenuto molto più utile all’esito del conflitto come macchinista,
il protagonista e chi lo circonda pensano che sia stato considerato come scartato.
Con tutte le conseguenze che ne derivano sia sul piano sentimentale che su quello sociale.
Ma ciò che più colpisce sul piano della narrazione è la duplicità delle passioni di Gray.
“The General” è così al centro dei suoi pensieri da farlo
portare ad Annabelle una sua foto con sullo sfondo la locomotiva.
Sarà inseguendo lei che salverà la ragazza.
Keaton costruisce sequenze di questo film che potremmo definire “on the railroad”
con estrema precisione non risparmiandosi anche come stuntman.
D’altronde si dice che il suo nome d’arte (Buster)
derivasse da un appellativo a lui rivolto da qualcuno che se ne intendeva in fatto di elasticità corporea: Houdini.
Keaton, a differenza di Griffith
in Nascita di una nazione
non sta dalla parte degli schiavisti per scelta ideologica.
Utilizza un episodio della Storia cogliendone tutti gli elementi adatti per ‘fare cinema’.
Ivi compreso il finale quando, avendo finalmente tra le braccia la riconquistata Annabelle,
non può dedicarsi a lei come si conviene a causa del suo atto di eroismo.
Allo spettatore spetta l’ardua sentenza: si tratta o no di un happy end?
Sei d’accordo con Giancarlo Zappoli?

By early April 1862, the Civil War was already closing in on the South, but the trains still ran on time.
When the Western & Atlantic Railroad’s Saturday morning run from Atlanta pulled into Big Shanty, Georgia, at 5:20 am,
passengers had just 20 minutes for breakfast at Mr. and Mrs. George Lacy’s trackside hotel.
Conductor William Fuller and engineer E. Jefferson Cain, however,
had barely paid their two bits and sat down to their grits and eggs when their locomotive,
The General, let out a chuff of steam and began to move.
Their guest at the table, W&A foreman Anthony Murphy, shouted,
“Someone is running off with your train!”
Everyone bolted out of the door, too late to stop the unscheduled departure.
Fuller’s first thought was that Confederate deserters from a militia camp just across the tracks
were making an escape and would likely abandon his train as soon as it ran out of steam.
A train conductor, though, is the captain of his ship.
A deserted, powerless locomotive blocking the way and causing
Fuller was only partly wrong.
It was not a handful of deserters who had stolen his train,
but rather a team of 20 Federal soldiers led by a Northern spy, James Andrews.
And the raiders did not plan to abandon the locomotive before they cut Tennessee
off from Georgia by burning every railroad bridge between Atlanta and Chattanooga.
Fuller was correct, however, in knowing that The General
would quickly run out of steam—as the raiders soon learned to their distress when,
a short distance out of the station, the locomotive abruptly lost power, slowed, and stopped dead on the tracks.
Corporal William Pittenger, one of the raiders riding in the three boxcars stolen along with the engine,
recalled the moment.
“We were to have serious trouble at the outset,” he wrote later.
“There had been just one burst of speed, and then this sickening and alarming failure of power.”
They could only sit there, in the heart of the Confederacy, and wait for their would-be engineers to figure out the trouble.
The Andrews raiders were not train experts—they were barely soldiers.
A week earlier their leader had been a mere smuggler, taking black market goods south and information north.
His volunteers were ordinary infantrymen chosen almost at random from Brig.
Gen. Ormsby Mitchel’s 3rd Division of the Army of the Ohio.
Only four had ever worked on a railroad; few had any experience of subterfuge, sabotage, or combat.
