Watched w/'60s score. Wasn't too attached to this movie. Probably too many gags have been copied since then. Not enough emotion for me compared to his other films. Fav scene: mirror house.

After a prolonged production famously beset with delays, re-shoots, and set losses, The Circus turns out as a solid and quick feature without nearly the pretense or extravagance of Chaplin's last few. With a packed array of comic business and set pieces, it plays more like his better short material writ large, which isn't a bad thing at all. It was supposedly conceived around the big tightrope business with the monkeys, which does stand out, though I'm also partial to the fun house sequence.

They had to act more artful than Recep İvedik 5. But they didn't.

Charming Chaplin feature with some great gags and an a quaint little story. The titular circus proves to be a fantastic setting for Chaplin's classic comedy, despite the notable lack of side show freaks.

The final shots are so good I think the blood rushed to my head and knocked me out. I woke up an hour later in a sweat in a part of town I had never been. A sign saying "Circus - Next Week" stood above me. In my fugue state, I knew.

Chaplin performs some of the most impressive physical comedy of his career here, so despite a couple of overlong routines, most of the slapstick is tremendous. Two highlights include the Tramp's stunning high-wire sequence and his accidental entrapment in a lion cage, yet somehow it's still the touching, bittersweet ending that prevails as the film's finest moment.

Not nearly as imaginative and inventive as The Gold Rush, but also - thanks in part to Chaplin not ruining it with a voice-over - a more successful straight-up comedy, and with a better ending to boot.
