Modern Times, 1936 (Grade A)

Director Charles Chaplin
Awards --many accolades but no awards I know of
Starring: Charles Chaplin, Paulette Goddard

sez says: this is nothing short of a classic, if you haven't seen it you really should.  What an incredible talent Chaplin had for physical comedy.Plus he wrote it, directed it, starred in it, wrote the music for it, etc etc . But I still don't know why it was done as a semi-silent film?  It has a music sound track, and  a voice track--and signs that pop-up like a silent movie... The little guy often get the shaft in life but they also get the girl and true love and that is what really matters.
