If Modern Times hit the spot, these will too

Charlie Chaplin directing both, with the same fingerprints on each

The same hand behind both of them: Charlie Chaplin

The same two preoccupations: tramp, and black and white

One thread runs through both: black and white

Witty and playful in the same breath

Both land stillness and romance at once

Tender comedy in both cases

Drama built on wit, twice over

Playful romance, and it commits to that

Comedy with a pulse of stillness, in both cases


Both lean on tenderness more than on romance
The difference: Easier on the wit than Modern Times
