The General (1927).

When a lot of years after the filming of this movie, Buster Keaton was diagnosed with a severe injure in his neck. It was nearly broke and remembering why he's got that problem he said to the doctor that he suffered and accident at one of the scenes. Back them he simply get up and continued filming, but it could almost killed him.

That intense where the filming of a Buster Keaton Movie.

The fun stuff: it had poor critics. Very bad and it was a failure both at theaters and finacially. Keaton was convinced that this movie was his best and time proved him right.

Well, enough words. Clic on the window and enjoy the movie.

Por cierto...financially.

Por cierto, lo de que puedas recordar las malas críticas de esta película te haría muuuuuy mayor, jeje.

Pues sí, era una super-producción y fracasó en la recaudación. Unos críticos demasiado severos - y equivocados - hicieron el resto.
