Happy Valentine’s Day! A love story for you all told in a card and a photo.
@JLH_Collective To be fair, it’s very difficult to see his films. My favorite Chaplin imitator is Billie Ritchie. Or was Chaplin a Ritchie imitator? It’s a real possibility. Sadly, Ritchie’s film career was cut short when he was attacked by an ostrich on set.
Charlie Chaplin’s huge success inspired imitators, the best of whom was Billy West. He spent a decade or so making short films in the Chaplin style before he started developing his own style around 1922. West was so good at imitating Chaplin that even today he is mistaken for him
@JLH_Collective Yes! There are so many great soundtracks from the 60s and 70s. And, as you pointed out in your post, so many movies then had songs. I also collect sheet music and love the idea that these songs were arranged for various instruments. “Hey, kids! It’s family sing-along time.”
@yourewrongabout How about spinach doesn’t have more vitamins than other vegetables and carrots don’t improve your eyesight?
I’m having trouble falling asleep. Maybe a good book will help me nod off.
