Talk:The General (1927 movie)

As I recall Cut to the Chase, it was the most expensive film of its day, partly because of many forest fires touched off by the locomotives. (Why, I dunno; they were all steam then. Were woodburners worse? Had the stacks been modded for authenticity?) My stab at correcting for inflation put it on par with Titanic.
It was also filmed in Cottage Grove, Oregon, where Stand by Me was shot; I suppose the same railway appears. Dunno if any common background features can be spotted. 142.177.124.178 04:40, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
