where it come from

[TheTubeMouse]

It's interesting how timing and 'delivery' have the same importance in physical comedy as in verbal. The immediacy of Charlie's escape attempt once he realises the bully is impervious to blows is hilarious and the well-expressed element of desperation in his attempt to knock him out as he turns around. I love the little details like the facial expressions and the skewiff helmet to emphasise the idea of his bewilderment. Great stuff!

does any one know what dvd this scene was taken from

[nellgwen48]

@willhills00 I believe the clip is from Easy Street.

[happinesscounts]

@willhills00 Yes it's Called Easy Street, It's avaliable on many DVDS, I personally reccomend "The Essanay Films" DVD

[WSenator1]

@willhills00 - I don't know the dvd, but the scene is from a short called "Easy Street."

[KBMCINTERNETRADIO]

@WSenator1 thanks!

@willhills00 "Easy Street," 1917

[harpo103]

This is one of the funniest scenes in movie history. Too bad it doesn't have music though.

It's a real shame Eric Campbell, the best known Scot in silent films along with James Finlayson, was killed in a car crash in 1917. In Chaplin's words "a very gentle humble man" and someone who would have had a career in the talkies. He was also an opera singer and he first wore his trademark false eyebrows when playing the Mikado on stage.

Eric Campbell 38 years only, he's soon living

100 years after this.

@Cool2BCeltic - Itt's funny how some of the movies' villians turned out to be nice guys in real life. I'm thinking about Boris Karloff, Edward G. Robinson, and Oliver Hardy (who played comic villians in films before teaming with Stan Laurel).
