Chaplin and Keaton Violin and Piano Duet - Limelight - Full Scene 

Why do you say a little while? Keaton lived for 71 years, Chaplin for 88.

And thx YT 😊

I said a little while because it wasn’t long enough for me.

​@@TheJamesRedwoodIt's a little while in one way or in several ways of looking at it actually. But, please tell me if that's Charlie Chaplin at the piano. This must be in 1949.

Wow! Close up.. I see that's Charles Chaplin on the violin. Wowee

Затянуто.

What a genius! I

So True!🔮🪄

Its only takes one actually.

Как хорошо сказано.

This fragment is boring, repeating the same thing for minutes.

​@@csuporjWell, than go to Hollywood and make it better, Einstein

Had a dental appointment. My crazy friend sent me that I laughed so hard and long , must have healed the whole mouth. It was magic. It IS MAGIC. .Now we can laugh again. These geniuses!!! Win.

Geniales me reí un monton

I hadn't seen this before, and genuinely cried laughing! They had me straight away - shortsighted Buster with the sheet music and Charlie with the rising collar and the one tiny exasperated "peeep" on the violin!

CHARLIE CHAPLIN ON VIOLIN 🎻AND BUSTER KEATON ON PIANO 🎹ARE A GREAT COMICAL MUSICAL🎶 DUET 🤗🤭🤑😝🤪👍👍

Maybe Lucille Ball and Harpo Marx?

​@@thomlarson681Just no

I look at these scenes with a kind of indulgent smile and find them a little too forced (sorry), but I admit that time has passed. The tastes change over the years, just as we change with our environment and the challenges it poses to us.

This is a very classic clown routine done by absolute masters, but it was invented in the circus as were many of the early comedy routines and adapted for the early screen as they worked very well in silent movies and could be supported by live musicians in the theatres. Look at Chaplins "little Tramp" figure, all he is missing is a red nose :)

All true enough - and there was also vaudeville, which meant these routines had to work with live audiences. Both Chaplin and Keaton were part of vaudeville acts as children.

Agree with you, bobbarclay316. As a side bar, survey modern comedy - SNL, Whose Line Is It Anyway, Chris Rock standing and talking - and nothing about this seems "too forced". The pace is measured. Building. Building. Building a flow of small fillips and climaxes moving toward a finish that seems inevitable and right. This is clean, classic construction. Too sophisticated for many of the would-be sophisticates, IMO. Keaton's struggle with the stack of paper is psychologically penetrating, it's deep headspace stuff: surreal, relatable, washed with universality.

And on another note, Limelight's story line is about the waning careers of English Music Hall comics. Chaplin and Keaton are not simply leveraging their standard film schtick from the '20s. They are playing Music Hall comics whose work is vernacular, aimed at a working class audience who know the product, not academics or critics. Of course they aim for laughs here. They didn't make a documentary. But they are playing low stage comics. That's their characters. That means this is not typical best heyday Chaplin or Keaton, or what people on youtube who know little about them (yet are inclined to make sniffy critical-sounding judgments, Sorry) should judge them for.

Chaplin was The Star - and Keaton dismissed his humor as self-pitying.

@@SelectCircle I don't think Keaton was ever that disrespectful of Chaplin. Buster was honored to have the role in "Limelight." But i do prefer Keaton's character's stoicism and his common plot theme of one man against overwhelming odds, whether natural, human or mechanical.

@@julianhermanubis6800 Keaton's on record saying it back in the silent era. In fact it's a well-known quote because it's his definitive statement on comedy. He set out to be the opposite of Chaplin: No self-pity. In the same way the Stones set out to be the opposite of the Beatles.- but were all friends anyway.

@@SelectCircle Give me a cite to that quote you claim Keaton said about Chaplin.

@@julianhermanubis6800 Oh please. Do your own research. It's in any bio. of Keaton.

there was an error in the file we uploaded earlier.

@@TheChaplinFilms Ah, thank you for clearing that up.

Strunz

Wow. So, they made sure everything was authentic?

lifting the lid of the piano on the hinge side is the best moment for me. Victor Borge probably wished he could make it his.

Agreed, but also I kinda thought of it as a reflection of how americans were reacting towards him at that time and how (maybe) he was coping with it

its a waste trying to get God to bless someone who has died

No it’s not. Speak for yourself; no prayers for you.

​@@chrisdann1226 Nothing more appropriate than to be blessed in life and in death. What's up with your cynicism?

i react to an overindulgence and adherence to Roman catholic thought and teaching (purgatory etc) when i come across it

I’ll get 😮here in the next hour or so if we can come over for dinner or dinner 😮be there for you and your love 💕 and then we can go get it

​????? Ma non è che hai sbagliato destinatario del messaggio?

Il bellissimo film da cui è tratta questa scenaesilarante e geniale ha ben più di 50 anni!

​@@lauravaccario2788 yes. I think it is more like 90 years old.

Yes I think you mean you've been watching them for 50 years. The film is 90 years old is that right?

The Same Here About CHARLIE CHAPLIN and BUSTER KEATON 😂😅

And Buster Keaton !

TheConorsmithusa I am Arab and I only know Charlie Chaplin, please excuse me

@@Amir_Jassim. Hey, you should watch Buster Keaton's movies, It's never too late ;) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YWm587wKKVw.html

Germain Pouillu Ok , thanks 🖤"

@@Amir_Jassim. I'm indian and Charlie Chaplin is my all time fav actor..Yes Buster keaton is also a legend, But Chaplin is an International icon

Absolutely! I always loved the subtlety of Keaton! Usually quite clever, actually. His physical comedy was incredible, too!

Un vero duo comico visuale come c'è in Italia Daddy Danno e Dennysltro duo fantastico comici visuali . Da Giuseppe Tambuzzo di Milano Lombardia Italia amante della comicità visiva quella vera .

Imagine a trio with Harold Lloyd.

Зате саме зараз наші ЗСУ роблять мерцями твоїх рашистських окупантів😅😮

É óbvio! 😅😅😅 "Gênio" você também, kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Chaplin couldn't do half of the stunts Keaton did lmao, put some respect on Keaton's name

Lol that 'was great but' 😂. Both of them are great in their own way.

Eddie, you should edit this comment after truly immersing yourself in Keaton’s work. 😄

Keaton was a true artist, too. How was he not?

Keaton is the 🐐 in my opinion. He did it all as well! I guess it's preference but you can't go wrong with either. Keaton's stuff do it for me. Legendary stuff.

"Chaplin wasn't the funniest, I wasn't the funniest, Stan Laurel was the funniest"

Oh yeah, agreed 100%!

So True 😂😅😂😅

Vero

ALASBUENAS el yo lo pasa mmmmuuuyyyy BIEN y APASALOBIEN TØS Y TÃS
