Charlie Chaplin

A Russian countess stows away in the stateroom of a married U.S. diplomat bound for New York.

One of Charlie Chaplin's most enduring classics, and also his last outing as the Little Tramp, Modern Times puts our hero to work as a giddily inept factory employee who is driven insane by the monotony of his job. The silent comedy is a comment on both the struggles to survive in a modern, industrialised world and the financial hardship of the Great Depression. Features the song Smile, written by Chaplin, and co-stars Paulette Goddard (Chaplin's third wife) as the gamine the Tramp falls for.

Charlie Chaplin's comedy classic – proclaimed the film he most wanted to be remembered for – following the Tramp as he heads to snowy northern Canada to join the Alaska Gold Rush.

Charlie Chaplin's first full-length film, a winning combination of slapstick and drama. After the Tramp discovers a baby discarded in a trash can, he raises the boy as his son and partner in petty crime.
