As always Chaplin offers as a beautiful film with amazing depth of emotion, I've only seen it via DVD and would love to see it on the big screen - as we ultimately should see it.

He learned to walk the tightrope for this film? Now, that's just showing off.<br /><br />I can't imagine making a film with all of those issues in his personal life. (How did he manage to get out of BED in the morning?) It's one more proof that Chaplin became a legend for good reason, and deserves to be a legend even today.Silver Screeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955048716754142299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-1229159145343522932018-04-16T15:13:38.014-07:002018-04-16T15:13:38.014-07:00Thank you.

I guess everything about Chaplin during those years is memorable.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-7783526039845293162018-04-15T10:07:52.932-07:002018-04-15T10:07:52.932-07:00Ultimately, we're lucky that movie fans are so...Ultimately, we're lucky that movie fans are so happy to share on YouTube.

Your review, plus the background leading up to the production, made for interesting reading.

I find I feed off of the crowd and their enjoyment.

It certainly sounds like a rough time for Chaplin, but amazing at how he could still make us all laugh. <br /><br />I'm trying not to be jealous that you saw Circus in a theater! I've never actually seen any Chaplin films on anything but the small screen. Do you think the comedy comes off differently when seen on the large screen? It must have been electric to see it with so many other fans. <br /><br />So glad you could join the Chaplin blogathon! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318052777683415613noreply@blogger.com
