Cinema 80: Silent Saturday - "The General"

`CINEMA 80’

Silent Saturday - "The General"

After a well-received experimental run from January to May at the Franklin Historical Museum, Cinema 80, captained by videographer and cinephile Chris Leverone, is back for another season of amazing free `Silent Saturday’ silent film entertainment on Saturdays at 6 PM. The program is free but donations are encouraged.  

• The General – Buster Keaton outdoes himself with non-stop action and comedy, loosely based on a real incident in the American Civil War. It has insane chase scenes involving lots of trains, horses, and soldiers and timings that keep audiences on the edge of their seats. 

After the movie, Chris Leverone responds to questions about the film and often the era in which the film is set.
