Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton (limelight)

Understood. I didn't even think about an actual theater audience responding to their performances. That makes perfect sense now, thanks.

It was meant for a movie theater not television or the Internet. Chaplin knew a live audience would laugh and they did, even when I first saw this about 10 years ago.

Keaton and Chaplin hardly got along with each other in the first. Romadona11, your comment was bs but, that's your opinion. I am a loyal Buster fan, he was way more creative and daring than Chaplin any day of the week.

Why is there no laughter for such a long time in this video? Is this a choice by Chaplin? I think it's brilliant but, would have been more effective with an audience reacting to that kind of brilliance. Has anyone else thought of that?

Cuanto genio desbordando la pantalla... simplemente... SUBLIME.

thanks for posting this gem!

Keaton is only a shadow for chplin in this scene.

I agree!
Perhaps Buster would've done it. I just think Chaplin was very clear on his direction ... even if he didn't know where he was going as it were.

Actually, Chaplin could have made this film centered around him entirely through editing and things but let Keaton have the spotlight for this one.

hi bubbajimmy8 :) Orson Wells cosidered Keaton as one of the greates directors ever,he also claimed chaplin removed some of the scenes in this movie because he was jealous to keaton and in those scenes keaton was far better that chaplin,...thats what Wells say. :P...btw oscar S**ks !!!

What is going on with Chaplin's foot?! Love it. Haha.

Great! Interesting that I see young kids wearing clothes similiar to Chaplin's comedy outfit.

I love this!
