I knew if I egged you on long enough you wold give us the history of all of the other comedian's edit-ations, so to speak. I was familiar with most of the examples you spoke of but what of Lloyd? He was as popular as Chaplin during the mid-Twenties. Why is it that no one was screwing around with hi...

Well, it's only a mystery because you;re not stopping and really thinking about it. The reason you have so many variations in the Chaplin prints is that there were more Chaplin prints about!

I was not complaining, nor was I inferring that I needed a 'definitive' version. Don't box me in with your ongoing war with the cinema-nerds who cry and kvetch over every new release slight - real or imagined.

Richard M Roberts So, is that "Bound for Texas" song one of the great examples of Chaplin not being brilliant? Does it now have to endlessly ruin any version of THE PILGRIM shown due to Family decree? That and the "Swing, little girl, swing" title song opening THE CIRCUS. Pasqua...

Posted yesterday by Joao Antônio Franz dos Santos, with thanks to Chris Seguin for forwarding the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE0s-gTabHI Uli I have another silent print that I think is different than both of these. So, is that "Bound for Texas" song one of the great examples of...

It's called Amazon. Big department store on the Web. Right next door to where the minions of the CIA spy on all of us to learn our buying habits. Now they're going to find out I am Patriotic, dammit! Lazy. New rule from the Godfathers, no adverting online specials without applying the link. We has ...
