Modern Times (1936)


 Modern Times (1936)


The Tramp struggles to live in modern industrial society with the help of a young homeless woman.

This was always intended to be Sir Charles Chaplin's first talkie. He even went as far as writing a dialogue script and experimenting with sound. However, because Chaplin intended the film to feature his Little Tramp character, sound seemed inappropriate. Consequently, the film was made using silent techniques, shot at 18 frames per second and then projected at 24 frames per second, which gave the slapstick sequences a more frenetic feel.
