Movies and TV - Charlie Chaplin Gift Set (4 Disc) (One Color) - Electronics

Zappos.com is proud to offer the Movies and TV - Charlie Chaplin Gift Set (4 Disc) (One Color) - Electronics: Legendary silent film comedian Charlie Chaplin is celebrated with four of his greatest films as director and star. The silent classics THE GOLD RUSH (1925) and MODERN TIMES (1936) are included as are talkies THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940) and the often overlooked LIMELIGHT (1951). Please see individual titles for synopses. Overview ; GOLD RUSH: This Chaplin classic finds Charlie in the Klondike searching for gold. Maintains a careful balance of masterful slapstick, romantic tenderness, and wry social satire. Also contains the celebrated \'dancing dinner rolls\' gag. Re-release in 1942 featured sound narration. Academy Award Nominations: 2, Best Sound Recording, Best Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture. ; LIMELIGHT: Silet film legend Charlie Chaplin plays an aging music-hall comedian who befriends a young dancer (Claire Bloom) who has attempted suicide. Highlights include a famous Chaplin-Buster Keaton comedy skit as the two comedians portray faded stars seeking an audience in a changing world. This bittersweet film wasn\'t released in America until 1972. ; GREAT DICTATOR: Charlie Chaplin has a dual role in this film, his first with dialogue. He plays a sweet-natured Jewish barber and a murderous Hitler-type dictator with such satirical impact that it counterbalanced the oratory of Adolf Hitler. Particularly delectable comic scenes are Hynkel\'s balletic \'pas de deux\' with a globe, and a cream cake fight between Hynkel and Napoloni, the dictator of Bacteria. ; MODERN TIMES: Charlie Chaplin bid farewell to silent comedy with this funny and poignant masterpiece. Here Chaplin stars as a factory worker fed-up with the job and his tyrannical boss (who keeps an eye on all his employees via a big-brother TV monitor). When he meets and falls in love with an orphaned street waif, the two dream of a nice suburban existence...but the cops are never far behind, chasing the vagabond couple. Details ; Fullscreen DVD.
