Buster Keaton – The General (1927) Music: Die Negerländer
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Gilbert and Sullivan’s raucous operatic tale is captured in all its fun and glory in this production, recorded live at Central Park’s Delacorte Theater. Kevin Kline sparkles as the swashbuckling and libidinous Pirate King while Linda Ronstadt makes her theatrical debut as the lovely and virginal Mabel. When Mabel and Frederic, a young pirate bound to serve the Pirate King, fall in love, complications arise and high spirited antics ensue. The incomparable cast offers the best in this boisterous romp. Despite some of the technical shortcomings of the DVD I found it more rewarding than the 1983 movie. I would thoroughly recommend adding a copy of this DVD to your library.

Great movie, and I’m so glad that it’s been uploaded (thanks!). I love it. BUT this movie has lasted 85 years and can stand on it’s own. It doesn’t need music to add anything to it. It’s just awful and distracting.
don’t really care for the music though.
Is this the original soundtrack?
The music is kind of annoying, lol.
Honestly I hate that electronic music. this is not a video game.
Wow ! the music is great !
LMAO Mauramclovin yeah the picture!!!!! LOL I always laugh at his picture too!!!! LOL
Thanks for uploading this
and i love the music you added.
if you dont mind can i have a sound file of the first piece from 0:00 to 2:07
if you like to see the history of movies watch *BIRTH OF CINEMA* in youtube and enjoy
I could list it but I doubt you would find the songs anywhere on the Internet…
Anyway you can list exactly which songs you used at time codes?
Thanks
haha 3:48
Thanx a lot for uploading this!
I added the music myself, so not all song transitions are perfect. The music is a combination from the CDs “Die Negerländer”. “Der General” and “Holes” from the German jazz band “Die Negerländer”. I saw them countless times performing live to this movie.
Thank you – most “The General”s on YouTube have NO sound! Thanks SO much!
thanks for uploading this!
ESE BUSTER ES TODO UN FICHO
Why, yes it is.
No
So did I! In fact, I think I already knew this whole song when my Dad sent me a link to XKCD’s version.
I heard that is an anachronism, as Leopold is from 1876, three years prior to the opening of the first production.
Recorded in 1980 or so. It’s in the description.

i just cam from watching Tom Lehrer’s Element song, the resemblance is very surprising

Recoginize the verbal skills of the song and be in true aw.
Eminen?? He could perform this well in his dreams while on speed after a lifetime of practice!!!
Big up for the xylophonist!
I am the very model of a scientist Salarian.

This was perhaps the most impressive role in a modern musical that I have ever seen and the person who played that general is ASTOUNDING!
