Silent Sundays returns with acclaimed pianist William O'Meara!
Silent Sundays at the Revue Cinema returns on November 7 with Buster Keaton's THE GENERAL!
Featuring live piano accompaniment by William O'Meara!
Orson Welles called the 1926 film the greatest comedy, the greatest Civil War film and possibly the greatest movie ever made. Make no mistake, though, The General is no army hero. It’s a locomotive, and, along with fiancée Annabelle Lee, is one of two great loves for Keaton’s character. The General really existed. It’s now safely housed in a Civil War museum. And the train chase that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat actually happened.
The feature will be preceded by a series of shorts and newsreels.
The Revue Cinema, 400 Roncesvalles Ave. Show starts at 4pm. Admission $11 non-members/$8 members/$6 children and seniors
