The General (1926)


An American action film by Buster Keaton.
During the civil war, a man tries to enlist in the army but is turned away because he is a train engineer. A girl that he likes is on his train when it is stolen so he alerts the army and they have him conduct a train to chase the stolen one. He takes off without the cars and chases his train alone in hopes of saving it and the girl.
There was a lot of physical comedy in this film, as in other silent films like The Adventurer. The music was interesting, but extremely repetitive. That's all there was in the film, so I can write no more. It entertained me moderately, so I'm rating it adequate.
