Penicuik Cinema is delight to present the 1926 silent movie classic "The General".
The event we have all been looking forward to! Graham Macdonald plays the live piano backing for Buster Keaton’s wonderful silent film about the American Civil War. The Engineer Keaton must single-handedly recapture his beloved locomotive after it is seized by Union spies and return it through enemy lines.
A sparkling comedy for all the family.
Director: Buster Keaton/ Clyde Bruckman, 1926
Certificate U - suitable for children
