“The audience loves a slow thinker”
Buster Keaton - “Stunts from The General”
Unbelievably executed scenes from my favorite silent film and one of the greatest comedies ever made.
From a 1965 documentary, narrated by BK friend and superfan, Orson Welles.
Got some spare time? Here’s the whole version of The General on YouTube or the mighty Archive.org
Got not so much spare time? Here’s a quick montage of swell BK highlights (regrettably, cursed with an entirely mutable bolt-on Pixies soundtrack)
