FAST & SAFE DELIVERY. THE CIRCUS - 1928. Directed by CHARLIE CHAPLIN. TAGLINE : "The world's two biggest attractions combined-Charlie Chaplin and "The Circus"- making the greatest comedy of all time! Imagine Charlie under the "big top!" He's the whole show but doesn't know it- a circus, all laughs"- The Tramp finds work and the girl of his dreams at a circus. The Tramp finds himself at a circus where he is promptly chased around by the police who think he is a pickpocket. Running into the Bigtop, he is an accidental sensation with his hilarious efforts to elude the police. The circus owner immediately hires him, but discovers that the Tramp cannot be funny on purpose, so he takes advantage of the situation by making the Tramp a janitor who just happens to always be in the Bigtop at showtime. Unaware of this exploitation, the Tramp falls for the owner's lovely acrobatic stepdaughter, who is abused by her father. His chances seem good, until a dashing rival comes in and Charlie feels he has to compete with him. CAST includes Charlie Chaplin, Al Ernest Garcia, Merna Kennedy (debut), Harry Crocker, George Davis, Tiny Sanford. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : Sir Charles Chaplin practiced tightrope walking for weeks before filming. He actually performed on a rope 40 feet in the air. However, the footage was lost when the negative was scratched during processing. The scene had to be reshot, and the footage included in the film was not as good, in Chaplin's estimation, as that which had been lost. Production was delayed for nearly a year due to several incidents: a fire at the studio, his mother's death, Chaplin's messy public divorce, the IRS freezing Chaplin's assets over a $1M tax dispute, poor lab work causing four weeks of filming to be unusable, and a storm destroying the big-top tent. All of this helped cause a three-year gap between this film and his last feature, 'The Gold Rush' (1925). For the First Academy Awards ceremony in 1929, Chaplin was nominated for four individual awards for "The Circus": Best Actor, Best Writer, Best Director for a Comedy, and Outstanding Picture. The Academy feared that Chaplin would sweep all four awards, so they revoked his individual nominations and gave him an honorary Oscar for the film instead.
