Buster Keaton Masterpiece
The problem with great films of the silent era is decomposition.  Often, original negatives are incomplete or unavailable and prints must be made from the best positives available.  Quality degrades at each step.  Kino On Video has pioneered the remastering of silent classics by ferreting out negatives, often from several countries, subjecting them to methodical restoration, and releasing them in crisp editions, looking better than ever.<br /><br /> &#34;The General: The Ultimate Edition&#34; is a two-disc set that showcases one of the funniest American films ever.  Made in 1926, when the silent film industry was at the peak of its artistry, &#34;The General&#34; is based on an actual Civil War incident, embellished to highlight the comic talents of its star, Buster Keaton.  At the time, Keaton was second only to Charlie Chaplin as America's favorite funny man.<br /><br /> Playing Southern Confederate train engineer Johnny Gray, Keaton engages in some of the most amazing sight gags of his career.  Johnny is rejected by the Confederate army and taken for a coward by his beloved Annabelle (Marion Mack).  When his treasured locomotive and his lady-love are taken hostage by a band of Yankee spies, he has a chance to redeem himself and prove his bravery to the world.  Johnny wages a one-man war against the hijackers, a cannon with a mind of its own, and the unpredictable hand of fate as he rolls along the iron rails.<br /><br /> Though the movie is filled with laughs, it is also Matthew Brady-like in the way it captures the look and feel of the Civil War, which ended a mere 60 years before &#34;The General&#34; was shot.<br /><br /> &#34;Silent&#34; films were never meant to be shown dead silent.  There was always musical accompaniment, either by a full orchestra or a piano.  This new edition contains three different musical scores that can be selected to accompany the movie.<br /><br /> This new edition was remastered in High Definition from a 35-millimeter archive print struck from the film's original camera negative.  It is sharper and more stable than any previous edition.  During transfer, some nitrate decomposition on the original negative was digitally painted out and corrected. The film's contrast was also brought back to its original condition.<br /><br />Bonus extras include a video tour of the authentic General locomotive, a tour of the movie's locations, filmed introductions by Gloria Swanson and Orson Welles, a montage of train gags from Keaton's career, and a photo gallery that includes glimpses of a deleted sequence.
