About this product
Product Information
Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton remain the two greatest comedians ever captured on film. This compilation consists of two sensational movies from each, individually described below:TILLIE'S PUNCTURED ROMANCE (1914) - This landmark film, the first full-length comedy feature, presents a very young Chaplin without his "Tramp" guise, so we see the cinema's greatest actor play an utterly different role. A grifter (Chaplin) persuades a naive and extremely plain country girl named Tillie (a young Marie Dressler, later of MIN AND BILL and DINNER AT EIGHT) to run away with him to the big city, where he cleans out her savings and breaks her heart while secretly romancing a very beautiful woman (Mabel Normand) on the side. When he later discovers that Tillie's suddenly inherited millions from an uncle, he talks her into moving into the uncle's mansion, but brings his real girlfriend along to pose as their maid until he can wrest Tillie's new fortune away. The legendary Mack Sennett directed this lavish extravaganza, which also featured Charley Chase. THE KID (1921) - Chaplin directs an incredibly moving comedy classic about a child abandoned by his mother (Edna Purviance) when she decides to kill herself. The little tramp (Chaplin) finds the baby and takes him under his wing. The mother changes her mind about the suicide at the last moment, and within five years becomes a major opera singer, spending her spare time doing charity work for youngsters in the slums, hoping that she will find her son (Jackie Coogan). Eventually, the truth comes out and the authorities take the little boy away from the hapless tramp. He steals the child back, but is soon discovered and separated from him again. This resonant masterpiece remains indisputably one of the greatest movies ever made.THE GENERAL (1927) - The two things engineer Johnny Gray (Buster Keaton) loves most in the world are his Southern belle sweetheart and his locomotive. When Northern spies steal the latter, the intrepid Confederate single-handedly takes on the entire Union army in order to get it back. Against a backdrop of magnificently photographed Civil War battle scenes unfolds one of the great chases in movie history. Closely based on an actual Civil War incident and set almost entirely aboard moving trains, THE GENERAL is physical comedy refined to elegant perfection and Keaton's greatest masterpiece, considered by many critics to be the zenith of silent cinema. STEAMBOAT BILL JR. (1928) - Keaton plays the mild-mannered son of a steamboat captain caught in the middle of a bitter rivalry between his father and another Mississippi riverboat owner. This silent classic teems with brilliant stunts and shocking gymnastics, including a cyclone blowing down a two-story wall over Keaton, who passes unharmed through an open window.
