Charlie Chaplin was just the most adorable man ever. Whether it was dressed as the Little Tramp or just normal. And that smile of his is contagious. ;) I love you Charlie!
from around 1920, I think. he was already, at the point that he, had to dye his hair black, as he was rapidly greying, by then. but still a handsome young man!
A true genius on so many levels. Charlie wrote and directed all of his films as well as starring in them and composing a great deal of the music for them. I wonder if the US Government will ever apologize to his family for the disgusting way he was treated by our government and by the pathetic pervert, J. Edgar Hoover.
Great clips.Not sure who the big man was in the clip before Winston Churchill. Loved Jackie Coogan at the top with his dancing moves. Charlie was a handsome man.
It simply doesn't fit in my mind how he looks so different to The Tramp. Make-up and good acting can do amazing things. Also great to see this ancient videos with Chaplin out of his role!
Amazing. I live only a few blocks away from that Studio where he was hosting all those dignitaries and Financial people. I can walk there in 10 minutes.
Churchill - on his grand tour of North America - visited Charlie on September 24 1929, at his Hollywood studio on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and La Brea Avenue. Churchill wrote that Charlie was "too sweet for words". At the time, Charlie was making City Lights during the transition from silent film to “talkies.”
Thanks for the clip with Winston Churchill!! I knew that they met in 1930 and I saw pictures. But I never saw this material. I have often wondered about the influence of Churchill on the making of The Great Dictator...
charlie was also an architect for a few years, i lived across from a building he designed and had built for employees of his studio to live in still beautiful
Какой он был трудяга!!!Сам исполнял, режиссировал,сочинял музыку,был клоуном и трюкачом и всё это ему удавалось,плюс отец и не одного ребенка, муж и не одной жены, добавьте ответственность как главы большого семейства или клана.Молодец!!! БРАВО!!!
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! =D I started watching him in the very early 1970s, when I was about 2 or so. That's how I discovered silent film in general, thanks to Charlie's films.
Charlie chaplin a vécu environ 600 ans. Il faisait du spectacle comique. Il fabriquait tout pour les orphelins et les princesses. Les films de charlie ont été tourné des décennies après l'absorbtion de ma dissociation..comme un jeu de situation.
@fahrzeit1 it was never ever a commercial publication. Hence.. not available for sale. Sincere apology for that. And thanks for your kind interest. Regards.
Charlie Chaplin always amazed me. All the media was digging up the dirt on this guy to try and bring him down, but the public basically said “We don’t care - we like him anyway!” Kind of reminds me of Donald Trump! 🤣
That kid dancing looks like Jackie Coogan that plays the little boy in Charlies film "The kid". I mean he really does. He must be Jackie! Correct me if I'm wrong.
well... the lil boy you see in the very start is THE KID (jackie coogen). jackie met charles chaplin when he was invited for the oscar event by the us govt. :-)
@romadona11 Check out the "Chaplin Collection" movies from Warner Brothers/MK2. It has all the Chaplin features and some of his shorts, plus bonus DVDs with each movie loaded with extras like these and documentaries. If you want to learn a ton about Chaplin, those DVDs are a great place to start.
