The General Preceded by High Sign August 16, 2007

Enjoy two Buster Keaton classics!

One of the most beloved films ever made, The General is set during the Civil War and finds Buster Keaton as the conductor (of a train known as the General) who must travel behind enemy lines to recover his train after Union soldiers steal it. Filled with hilarious sight gags and thrilling train chases! (90 mins., 35mm) The High Sign, Keaton's first independent two-reeler, takes his character to a carnival arcade where he manages to be hired as both the bodyguard and the assassin of the same man.

Please note: In the event of rain or other inclement weather, the screenings will move inside the Wexner Center.
