The General (1926). Buster Keaton. Design by Vladimir and Georgii Stenberg.
I just watched this the other day. It was the first time I’d watched a Buster Keaton movie, as distinct from watching 2-second clips of his stunts. I was surprised by how compelling it was. Which is me being dumb. Guess what? A 1926 film audience had the same needs as a present-day audience. What worked for them (ta da!) still works.
