Amazon.ca: Music: Oh! That Cello Music By Charl Few people think "composer" when they hear the name Charlie Chaplin, but this disc serves as a good sampling of some of his musical work. I was aware that Chaplin wrote music long before I was able to find a recording, other than standard film cuts, that featured the instrument Chaplin played.

1993.txt The new movie "Chaplin" (directed by Richard Attenborough and with Robert Downey, Jr., as Charlie Chaplin) is an excellent film, but it skips from Chaplin's childhood to his going to work for Fred Karno, and thus has no mention of Chaplin's acting with William Gillette in "Sherlock Holmes". He was a splendid actor (Charlie Chaplin called him "the world's greatest comedian"), and he was best known here for his appearance as Phileas Fogg's valet Passepartout in the film "Around the World in 80 Days" (1956). These cassettes likely are the best versions: in 1988 I was told that they had been made from the masters assembled by Leo Gutman when he controlled the films. members.cox.net /sherlock1/1993.txt   (18198 words)

Modern Times (1936) In one of the film's great opening scenes, the conveyor belt sequence, a masterpiece of choreography, the Tramp is a factory worker (Charlie Chaplin) whose job it is to tighten bolts on an endless series of machine parts - he is a small cog in the factory that exploits its workers. Filmed between 1932 and 1936, it was directed, written, scored, and produced by Chaplin himself - and he also starred in his own 'one-man show' with his current wife and kindred spirit Paulette Goddard.

Short subject - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Short subjects could be live action or animated; comedy was particularly utilized as their style, and well-known comedians such as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy and others are best known from short subject films. As well, short film making is growing in popularity among users outside the traditional short film scene who are taking advantage of broadband Internet connections and affordable equipment such as "prosumer" or semi-professional cameras (now costing under USD$3,000) and PCs with free or low-cost software capable of video editing, post-production work, and DVD authoring. Since the 1980s, short subjects have come to be munged together with "short films", an international, academic term used to mean a contemporary non-commercial motion picture that is substantially shorter than the average commercial feature film. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Short_film   (3184 words)

GreenCine British Comedy The British film industry, caught between healthier film industries in Europe and in Hollywood, was especially weak in the silent era, and while the English music hall produced some of comedy's greatest stars - Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel, Cary Grant - they did the great bulk of their work in the US. The coarse and fine threads of British comedy were at last firmly knitted together in the radio and TV work of the 1950s and later in such productions as The Goon Show, Beyond the Fringe, Monty Python's Flying Circus and their filmic spinoffs. Historians will note that Chaplin's early comedies frequently recreate classic music hall acts (e.g., 1915's A Night in the Show) and that his last American film, Limelight (1952) is a moving tribute to the halls in the form of the aged comic Calvero (Chaplin). www.greencine.com /static/primers/britcom1.jsp   (1929 words)
