Product Description

Amazon.ca

Indispensable for any Chaplin fan and important and highly intriguing for anyone who cares about film history, this three-volume series offers the outtakes and unreleased tracks of the Little Tramp's storied career. Archivist Kevin Brownlow and David Gill meticulously and ingeniously piece together previously unseen footage from Chaplin's private collection, demonstrating in part 1 how painstakingly the director developed gags in such short films as The Cure and The Immigrant. Part 2 is less essential, but offers the famous behind-the-camera intrigue of the making of his classic City Lights, a film in which pokey perfectionist Chaplin makes Stanley Kubrick look like a caffeinated, indie tyro rushing through production. Part 3 demonstrates how Chaplin recycled ideas he discarded early in his career for use in later film. It includes a historic first--one of the first extended sequences Chaplin shot trying to break out of the Little Tramp mold. Doubly amazing is how fresh and funny and effective Chaplin's filmmaking remains today, nearly a century later. --David Kronke

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece... Mar 10 2004
By Edwin Graf Diemer
I taped this off the air when it was first broadcast, then bought the LD's when they came out. Seeing that a DVD release is not likely, I treasure them-a wonderful documentary!

5.0 out of 5 stars The most interesting one of all... Nov 11 1999
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
This video is mainly outtakes and shows scenes never seen before. I think this is the most behind-the-scenes you'll get. Also shows Charlie "breaking up" in some scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must For Chaplin Fans Jan 10 2011
By Tiberiuscan
Format:DVD
If you love Charlie Chaplin like I do this is the best documentary series you'll ever own. Originally produced in 1982 and subsequently shown on the A&E network, the series is divided into three episodes: 1-My Happiest Years; 2-The Great Director and 3-Hidden Treasures, this series features tons of never before seen out-takes and unfinished films. You can see how Chaplin made up his films on film, refining and sometimes completely removing bits and gags that he would eventually deem not funny enough. Written and produced by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill for Thames Television in England and narrated by James Mason as Tiime magazine says "A Masterpiece".
