A true classic !
Hilarious and so much good acting by the matchless Buster Keaton. I wish he was portraying a fellow helping the Union instead of the Confederate Army.
GOOD MOVIES
Not sure how anything about a loyal Southerner stopping those dastardly Union men could be a classic. The Lost Cause should be lost and forgotten, Keaton or not.
Excellent movie
Great movie!
Awesome!
Loved it!
