The General (1926 film)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Doing It for the Art: More than one example; the production actually crashed the train at the end, while one of the gags with the cannon required Keaton to measure out the black powder charge with tweezers.
  • Enforced Method Acting: Annabelle when she's hit with the water. The actress wasn't told beforehand that she was going to get sprayed.
  • Name's the Same: Luckily, Annabelle Lee doesn't seem to share any characteristics with her namesake.[1]
  1. ↑ Technically not a complete example, as, while the names are pronounced the same, they're spelled differently (Annabelle vs. Annabel)
