5.0 out of 5 stars A rip-roaring appraisal of two of Chaplins finest films, 27 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Charlie Chaplin - A Dog's Life / The Kid [VHS] [1918] (VHS Tape)
For this first film, all Chaplin needed was a dog, a stolen wallet and a pretty girl. This movie shows Charlie down on his luck until he meets a friendly mongrel who unearths a wallet full of cash, enabling Charlie and Edna (a shy bar-room singer)to settle down in the country.The comedy is very fast, and there is a great scene where Charlie manages to scoff a whole plateful of cakes right under the Snack Shack owners nose, then runs off without paying for them. "The Kid" shows Chaplin at his best, as he manages to balance both comedy and pathos to beautiful effect. Evidence of Chaplins great skill as a director comes in the form of Jackie Coogans tremendous performance, and there are tears to be shed when the Orphanage authorities try to separate Jackie and Charlie. This should be top of the list for die-hard fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Early Chaplin, silent comedy at its best, 15 Dec 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Charlie Chaplin - Vol. 9 [1916] [DVD] (DVD)
This DVD contains four classic shorts- The Adventurer, a classic piece of slapstick which commences with convict Chaplin running from the law. The Cure in which a health spa encounter problems with a recovering alcoholic Chaplin switching the waters. Easy Street and One AM (a drunken Chaplin).
The picture transfer is excellent. I first saw The Adventurer on a big screen with a live symphony orchestra- the DVD music isn't quite up to that, but probably of the standard of the time.
Watch for the small subtle expressions and minor movements which show the talent of Chaplin in these quite early films.
The comedy has lasted well, and the lack of speech really isn't such a hindrance. Classic cinema. A must see.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heart warming film of old age and realisation!, 28 Jul 2000
By A Customer
Here Charlie plays an old music hall entertainer who feels he has lost the ability to entertain people and make them laugh. Set in London but made in America, this was Chaplin's last film made in the US. The theme is sensitive and yet at times quick and enthralling. It's an all English line up as Claire Bloom co-stars next to Charlie and plays her part with amazing grace and excellence. The end of the film sees Chaplin passing the flame of experience over to Claire. A great masterpiece from an English legend! A MUST buy!
