THE CHAPLIN REVUE
DIRECTOR: CHARLIE CHAPLIN
Three of Chaplin’s most celebrated shorts: A DOG’S LIFE (1918) finds Charlie in possession of some stolen loot, thanks to a dog he befriends; however, the real wrongdoers want their ill-gotten gains back. In SHOULDER ARMS (1918), Charlie discovers the hard life in the trenches and the dangers of combat as a haplessly enlisted man during the First World War. THE PILGRIM (1923) features Charlie as a prison escapee in disguise as a pastor, only to be mistaken for a village’s new curate by its townspeople. (112 mins.)
