General, The (1926)
Made for $US415,000, at the time a huge budget, under the banner of United Artists, the production company set up by Chaplin with Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D.W.Griffith,
The General is a superbly composed film that bombed at the box office but is now recognized as one of Keatons major works', perhaps even his best.BH
