Funny peculiar
Charlie Chaplin and childhood go hand in hand, at least for me. My
parents would hire a film projector for my birthday party, and we all sat round
laughing at the flickering, silent adventures of the fascinating little tramp.
We watched as he won over authority and fate, triumphing over nasty people and
physical danger, such as the little hut placed dangerously on the cliffs in his
film ``The gold rush``.
