Written by Kevin Brownlow & David Gill
UK 1983
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.
******
This is an in-depth UK documentary series examining the film making methods
and techniques of Charles Chaplin narrated by James Mason. Silent film historians Kevin Brownlow and
David Gill show us never before seen out-takes from Chaplin's films, and other
rare footage including pratfalls edited out when Chaplin became injured.
Unknown Chaplin gives a valuable insight into the creation of Chaplin's
films and the behind the scenes meticulous preparation and production. Included
are interviews with relatives and other people who knew and worked with Chaplin
(Geraldine Chaplin, Sydney Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Jackie Coogan, Alistair
Cooke etc. ). The documentary is
in three 52 minute segments: My Happiest Years; Hidden Treasures;
and The Great Director. Accompanied by excellent music by Carl Davis,
much adapted from Chaplin's own musical scores.

This is a fabulous series that I am so glad is available on DVD. There is so much interesting information stacked into this disc for Chaplin's legions of fans or neophytes alike. Absolutely fabulous - a must see! The image quality is fairly weak, from a TV broadcast and it does not appears to be progressively transferred (possibly taken from the older LaserDisc). Audio is very clean and sounds quite good. No optional subtitles for Mason's narration but it doesn't appear necessary in this case. Three short featurettes as extras that continue building upon Chaplin documented legacy. I am very impressed with this documentary - very professionally produced and I strongly recommend it to all. |
