The Chaplin Revue (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD]

Description: The Chaplin Revue (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [DVD] Product Overview Format: DVD That Charles Chaplin's Little Fellow (his own name for the Little Tramp) is such a Comic Everyman enabled the master moviemaker to place the character in all manner of situations. That versatility abounds in this treasure chest of seven marvelous movies made for First National between 1918 and 1923. Included are such touchstones as Shoulder Arms (his popular portrayal of World War I trench life), The Idle Class (skewering the rich) and The Pilgrim (lampooning small-town hypocrisy), along with the charming and hilarious views of family life and romance in A Dog's Life, A Day's Pleasure, Sunnyside and Pay Day. Seven Charlie Chaplin two-reelers are included on this two-disc set, including The Chaplin Revue, a 1959 compilation comprising three silent comedies (A Dog's Life, Shoulder Arms, and The Pilgrim). Among the high points are the flawless A Dog's Life, in which the Tramp befriends a mutt (among its sublime routines is a superbly executed scene with Chaplin stealing pastries from a street vendor), and the ambitious Shoulder Arms, which sends Charlie to the trenches of World War I. There's also The Idle Class, which casts Chaplin in two roles: as the Tramp, and as a foppish rich man with a weakness for drink (and a weakness for absent- mindedness, in a brilliant scene in which he forgets his trousers). A Day's Pleasure is a lark with good gags aboard a swaying boat, while Sunnyside is downright peculiar at times--though Chaplin's addled dance with imaginary nymphs is pure acrobatic daffiness. --Robert Horton P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Set Contains: Biographer David Robinson introduces each disc with background on the films. Among the extras are deleted scenes from Shoulder Arms and a nine- minute, uproarious sequence cut from Sunnyside. There's also The Bond, a fund- raising wartime film, plus a home movie with Harry Lauder, and How to Make Movies, Chaplin's whimsical behind-the-scenes look at his studio. The three shorts in The Chaplin Revue can be accessed separately, but only as chapters of the feature--i.e., when you finish one short, the next one will start playing. --Robert Horton See more Details Genre: Kids & Family, Military & War Format: NTSC, Black & White, Closed-captioned, DVD Contributor: Chaplin, Charlie Language: English Runtime: 3 hours and 34 minutes Is Discontinued By Manufacturer ‏ : ‎ No MPAA rating ‏ : ‎ Unrated (Not Rated) Product Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 7.75 x 5.75 x 0.5 inches; 6.4 ounces Media Format ‏ : ‎ NTSC, Black & White, Closed-captioned, DVD Run time ‏ : ‎ 3 hours and 34 minutes Actors ‏ : ‎ Chaplin, Charlie Subtitles: ‏ : ‎ English, Georgian, Portuguese, French, Spanish, Thai, Chinese Language ‏ : ‎ English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono), English (Dolby Digital 5.1) Studio ‏ : ‎ Warner Home Video Quality Products Have peace of mind knowing that your order will arrive original factory sealed packaging.
