Modern Times- A Tuesday Night Classic
Tuesday, August 2, 2016
Modern Times, Charlie Chaplin’s last outing as the Little Tramp, puts the iconic character to work as a giddily inept factory employee who becomes smitten with a gorgeous gamine (Paulette Goddard). With its barrage of unforgettable gags and sly commentary on class struggle during the Great Depression, Modern Times—though made almost a decade into the talkie era and containing moments of sound (even song!)—is a timeless showcase of Chaplin’s untouchable genius as a director of silent comedy. G / 87 min.
And remember that Friends of the Normal Theater can always attend Tuesday Night Classics at no cost.
