The Chaplin Revue

1959 · 119 min

A gentle, nostalgic stroll through silent slapstick, warm and playful, with moments of pathos beneath the pratfalls.

Overview: Three Chaplin silent comedies "A Dog's Life", "Shoulder Arms", and "The Pilgrim" are strung together to form a single feature length film. Chaplin provides new music, narration, and a small amount of new connecting material. "Shoulder Arms" is now described as taking place in a time before "the atom bomb".
How it feels: Whimsical, warm, satirical and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Survival, class, friendship, war
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
