Starring Buster Keaton, "The General" cost $750,000, a huge budget for 1927. This "epic" of silent comedy includes an accurate historical recreation of a Civil War episode, hundreds of extras, dangerous stunt sequences, and an actual locomotive falling from a burning bridge. "The General" was voted one of the 10 greatest films of all time in the authoritative "Sight & Sound" poll. Providing the organ accompaniment is Wayne Zimmerman, who has been playing for East Lynne Theater Company and The Cape May Film Society's Silent Film Series since 2011.
