CHARLIE CHAPLIN: THE MUTUAL COMEDIES (Limited Edition 2-Disc Blu-ray Edition)
Charlie Chaplin entered the film industry in 1914 and by 1916 was the highest paid entertainer in the world after signing a contract with the Mutual Film Corporation for a salary of $670,000. Mutual built Chaplin his very own studio and allowed him total freedom to make 12 two-reel films during a 12-month period, which have been brought together for the first time on this two-disc box set. Chaplin subsequently recognised this period of film-making as the most inventive and liberating of his career.
These twelve films demonstrate the breadth of Chaplin's abilities as both a physical slapstick actor and a subtle, endearing character actor. The collection includes the slapstick custard pie fights of Behind the Screen and his first minor masterpiece, The Vagabond, where he successfully combines pathos and comedy to create a lyrical love story.
This limited edition Blu-ray collection of Chaplin films has been fully restored and features music by acclaimed silent film composer Carl Davis.

WHY DO SOME ITEMS INCUR BACKORDER AND DELAYS IN DELIVERY?
Whilst we always aim to keep items in stock so we can ship your order immediately, unfortunately this is not always possible for a number of reasons:
1. Our aim is to offer you a wide range of dvd & blu ray titles and some of these are fast sellers which can quickly run out of stock and therefore we need to source these to order.
2. Sometimes we are reliant on labels and distributors and we have no control over delays incurred by our third party suppliers.
