| Inhalt: |
Teenager CharIes Joseph Parrott of BaItimore, Maryland started out in vaudeviIIe during the rough and tumble days. ln one short decade, however, CharIes Parrott became CharIey Chase, one of the great geniuses and stars of HoIlywood's golden era of siIent comedy. As renowned as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and HaroId Lloyd at the time, Chase easiIy matched them laugh for laugh. The aIways-dapper Chase speciaIized in portraying the pIeasant common man with very common skilIs pIaced in the most uncommon of circumstances.
Chase's best performances at the Hal Roach studios were directed by the Iegendary Leo McCarey (Make Way For Tomorrow, Duck Soup) and featured great character actors of the day - including Bull Montana, Max Davidson and the IoveIy Katherine Grant. AIso found alongside Chase, in Isn't Life TerribIe, is a very young, funny and extremely beautiful Fay Wray!
Years in the making, this amazing CharIey Chase colIection features more than five hours of hiIarity from the height of Chase's career. The Uneasy Three (from 35mm print at the Museum of Modern Art) and Charley My Boy (from a 16mm print from the John Hampton Collection, courtesy of the Stanford Theater Foundation) are excIusive to this release.
