Who Played the Northern and Southern Soldiers ?
As explained on TCM's recent late night showing of the GENERAL,
movie, set in the Deep South, was actually filmed in Oregon, only place
that still had narrow-guage railroad. The soldiers were 500 Oregon National
Guard who kept changing uniforms so that the soldiers were fighting themselves,
in effect. Amusing anecdote ........ thank you, Robert Osbourne. And thank
you Oregon. Buster Keaton terrific !
