Charlie Chaplin was born 121 years ago today, on April 16, 1889. His obituary from the New York Times is a good summary of his life.
In honor of his birthday here is a clip from one of his best films, The Kid. Two interesting things about this movie. The Kid is play be Jackie Coogan, who as an adult, many years later, went on to play Uncle Fester in The Addams Family TV show. Also I think this may be the only film I have ever seen that has a dog angel (Not included in the clip below). I am purposefully overlooking the resurrected dog in the movie Michael, because that is a movie I wish I had never seen.
