  • Description

Two of Buster Keaton's best on the Big Screen!

With Sherlock Jr. celebrating it's centenary this year, we though it would be wonderful to see it at the Connaught alongside Keaton's other classic The General.

The General After being rejected by the military, an engineer must single-handedly recapture his beloved locomotive after it is seized by Union spies and return it through enemy lines.
Sherlock Jr. A film projectionist longs to be a detective, and puts his meagre skills to work when he is framed by a rival for stealing his girlfriend's father's pocketwatch.
