Johnny comes to visit Annabelle,
but two admiring little boys follow him into the house and "cramp
his style." |
 |
Union soldiers have stolen
Johnny's beloved "General" with Annabelle on board.
In pursuit, he surveys the countryside for the fleeing train. |
 |
Johnny gives a puzzled look
when a boxcar that was in front of him has suddenly disappeared. |
 |
Annabelle is a captive in
the house where the Union generals are meeting to plan the attack
at the Rock River Bridge. |
 |
Johnny scoffed at Annabelle when
she tied a rope between two flimsy pine trees to delay their
pursuers. However, it worked better than expected as the small
trees got tangled up in the wheels of the Union soldiers' engine. |
 |
Johnny stops to get water for his
train. (Marion Mack said in later years that the sudden rush
of water from the water tank which knocked her down in this scene
was not in the script and a total surprise to her.) |
 |
The Union soldiers are about to
connect their train to the boxcar on Johnny's train, but Johnny
won't be overtaken that easily. |
 |
Johnny and Annabelle warn
the Southern forces of the impending attack at the Rock River
Bridge. |
 |
The movie's most famous scene
- the Union General decides the bridge has not been burned enough
to stop their train from crossing . . . mistake!! |
 |
One example of the beautiful
photography in this movie - soldiers advance through the woods
with the rays of sunlight highlighted by the smoke from their
guns. |
 |
Fighting at the Rock River
Bridge - battle scenes that would rival some of D.W. Griffith's
best. |
 |
After being made an officer
for his heroism, Johnny strikes a pose for Annabelle. |
