        Joseph Frank “Buster” Keaton (1895-1966) was an American actor, comedian and filmmaker. He is best known for his silent film work, in which his trademark was physical comedy accompanied by a stoic, deadpan expression that earned him the nickname “The Great Stone Face.”
        “The General” is viewed as his masterpiece. Orson Welles considered it “the greatest comedy ever made...and perhaps the greatest film ever made.”
