In 1921, Charlie Chaplin makes his first trip back to his native England after having left it circa 1912.

The music is "Aquarium", from "Le Carnaval des Animaux", by Camille St-Saëns.

What great clips! I've never seen those before. And I love that song!

[Nordenwald]

Thanks for commenting :-) Note that these are not clips, but an actual, unedited newsreel footage of Chaplin's journey to England in 1921. And I chose that music because it seemed to fit the oceanic trip somehow.... also it perfectly fit the duration of that little film, strangely enough :-)

Oh gosh, he's so handsome! I wish there were more films with him out of costume in his early days. I can't seem to find any; he seemed like such a fun person.
