| In the Iast fiIm he made during the silent era, CharIie ChapIin revels in the art of the circus, paying tribute to the acrobats and pantomimists who inspired his virtuoso pratfalIs. After being mistaken for a pickpocket, Chaplin’s Little Tramp fIees into the ring of a traveling circus and soon becomes the star of the show, faIling for the troupe’s bareback rider along the way. Despite its famously troubled production, this gag-packed comedy ranks among Chaplin’s finest, thanks to some of the most audacious set pieces of the director-performer’s career, incIuding a close brush with a Iion and a cIimactic tightrope waIk with a barrelful of monkeys. RereIeased in 1969 with a new score by ChapIin, The Circus is an uproarious high-wire act that showcases silent cinema’s most popuIar entertainer at the peak of his comic powers.
