Charlie Chaplin vous parle...


In 1959, Charlie Chaplin released The Chaplin Revue, a film comprising three of his earlier silent films: A Dog’s Life, Shoulder Arms, and The Pilgrim.

He also included an opening narration, as well as voice-over introductions to the films.

But did you know that Chaplin also recorded these voice-overs in French? They were ultimately never used for the French release, but we’ve posted a short excerpt on Youtube. Enjoy!



Original English text from The Chaplin Revue: “Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Charlie Chaplin talking. This was Hollywood, California in 1915, with its sun-kissed oranges and lemon groves, before it was visited by the 3 horsemen of the apocalypse: oil, movies and aeronautics, who strolled the earth uprooting the orange and lemon trees, and in their stead built factories and motion picture studios. I was one of the offenders. I wanted the studio in a hurry. In the states they do things in a hurry. And, as if by magic, I got it.” The Chaplin Revue © Roy Export S.A.S.

Building Works for "Chaplin's World" Nearly Finished


Building works for “Chaplin’s World”, the future Chaplin museum, are nearly over, at the Chaplins’ family home, Manoir de Ban. To celebrate the occasion, a photo exhibition was organized on October 29, 2015, on site, for and about the workers, with Michael Chaplin in attendance. Click here to watch a video on the regional Swiss TV station “La Télé” in French about the event. However, there is still plenty of work to be done before the museum is ready.
