Charlie Chaplin's Own Story

Synopsis

Life Itself Is A Comedy - A Slap-stick Comedy At That. It Is Always Hitting You Over The Head With The Unexpected. You Reach To Get The Thing You Want - Slap! Bang! It's Gone! You Strike At Your Enemy And Hit A Friend. You Walk Confidently, And Fall. Whether It Is Tragedy Or Comedy Depends On How You Look At It. There Is Not A Hair's Breadth Between Them. When I Was Eleven Years Old, Homeless And Starving In London, I Had Big Dreams. I Was A Precocious Youngster, Full Of Imagination And Fancies And Pride. My Dream Was To Become A Great Musician, Or An Actor Like Booth. Here I Am To-day, Becoming A Millionaire Because I Wear Funny Shoes. Slap-stick Comedy, What?
