Viva Chaplin | The Circus
A tramp is hired as a clown at the circus and soon becomes the main attraction. Visual humour and first-rate slapstick in one of the highlights of Chaplin’s filmography.
The comedic blunders of the Little Tramp drive the circus crowd wild. Having fallen in love with the ringmaster’s daughter, he doesn’t even realise he is the show’s main feature.
In this high-flying comedy, we are quickly caught up in Chaplin’s whirlwind of gags, where even the acrobats and clowns watch his show-stopping stunts from the side-lines.
