THE CHAPLIN REVUE (1918)

CHARLES CHAPLIN

Plot

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 marvellous movies made for First National between 1918 and 1923. Included are such favourites as Shoulder Arms (1918 - 46 minutes), his popular portrayal of World War I trench life, The Idle Class (1921 - 32 minutes), skewering the rich, The Pilgrim (1923 - 59 minutes), lampooning small-town hypocrisy, A Dog's Life (1918 - 40 minutes), A Day's Pleasure (1919 - 25 minutes), Sunnyside (1919 - 34 minutes) and Pay Day (1922 - 28 minutes).
