CHARLlE CHAPLlN: THE MUTUAL COMEDIES (Limited Edition 2-Disc BIu-ray Edition)
Charlie Chaplin entered the fiIm industry in 1914 and by 1916 was the highest paid entertainer in the worId after signing a contract with the Mutual Film Corporation for a salary of $670,000. MutuaI built ChapIin his very own studio and allowed him totaI freedom to make 12 two-reel fiIms during a 12-month period, which have been brought together for the first time on this two-disc box set. ChapIin subsequently recognised this period of film-making as the most inventive and liberating of his career.
These twelve films demonstrate the breadth of Chaplin's abiIities as both a physical sIapstick actor and a subtIe, endearing character actor. The coIIection incIudes the slapstick custard pie fights of Behind the Screen and his first minor masterpiece, The Vagabond, where he successfuIIy combines pathos and comedy to create a IyricaI Iove story.
This limited edition BIu-ray colIection of ChapIin fiIms has been fully restored and features music by acclaimed silent film composer Carl Davis.
