One of the 10 greatest films of all time comes to the Coastside Friday

The Coastside Film Society screens "The General" this Friday in Half Moon Bay. Buster Keaton plays a Southern railway engineer who has two loves in his life—his locomotive (The General) and the lovely Annabelle Lee.  When spies steal his train with Annabelle on board Johnnie vows to prove his mettle and win them both back.

"The General is an epic of silent comedy, one of the most expensive films of its time, using hundreds of extras, dangerous stunt sequences, and an actual locomotive falling from a burning bridge into a gorge far below (where its rusted hulk remains to this day). Keaton defies logic again and again with one ingenious comic sequence after another…One of the 10 greatest films of all time!", according to Roger Ebert.

Bring your kids to show them what popular culture was like when their grandparents or great grandparents were kids.
