Examples
“Set against the background of the American civil war, with Keaton a cunning but unskilled driver, unaided, of the ponderous giant of a locomotive, it remains not only probably the funniest film about railways ever made, but one of the funniest silent films to retain its comic power over today's more sophisticated audiences.”
“Lewis Stone as the Marquis gives one of the greatest performances in silent film I have ever seen.”
