Famed for his style of physical comedy with a stoic, deadpan expression on his face, Buster Keaton's activity as a performer and director is widely regarded to be among the most innovative and important work in the history of cinema. Considered one of the finest silent film comedies ever made, Buster Keaton's The General (1927) will be shown on the big screen accompanied by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in an orchestral score that was compiled from original cue sheets by internationally renowned silent film accompanist, Dennis James.

Today we went to see Buster Keaton in the General, a silent film that was so funny with the orchastra playing the music...it was so good. There were some really really funny parts!
Loved it!
