How Buster Keaton made The General

[@curtandoscar]

Wow ! This was such a great video! Absolutely love seeing all the then-and-now shots, including some houses/buildings still standing! Thank you! Just love The General to pieces.

Endlessly fascinating. My #1 favorite film of all time. If I lived out west I would be visiting all these locations and soaking it all in 😊 Thank you!

Un des chefs d oeuvres du génie Buster keaton et sont film préféré. Pourtant le film ne sera pas succè qu' il espérait ainsi que la production qui s'en souviendra . Au fur et à mesure pour Buster Keaton l étau va se resserrer surtout quand il va se retrouver à la MGM .

I'm confused about the river photos starting at 5:50. Why is the horizon in the modern shots so much lower? It seems like the scene would have taken place further upriver.

The color photos were taken 20 years apart at the approximate spot - tree ridgelines change over time. Confirmed by other 1926 photos, at the time it was just east of where Culp Creek entered the Row River
