Keaton’s most renowned film - a non-stop, action packed civil war pic, following a young Confederate train driver’s attempts to rescue the two loves of his life, his beloved engine and his potential fiancée, after they have been kidnapped by Yankee spies - although often spectacular and very funny, lacks the heart and humanity of his best work, and feels rather soulless in comparison.
