This is aBelgian re release 1970's poster for the classic Charlie Chaplin comedy, The Circus (1928). The poster has been updated in a Bold red color and features the full head of Chaplin's tradmark, iconic character, The Tramp,which takes up the majority of the 15 1/4" x 23" Linen backed poster. This is a really nice piece in good condition. There are a few scratches on Chapilin's trademark hat, but that should be fairly easy to repair or restore. (From Wikipedia) The Circus is a 1928 silent film written, produced, and directed by Charlie Chaplin. The film stars Chaplin, Al Ernest Garcia, Merna Kennedy, Harry Crocker, George Davis and Henry Bergman. The ringmaster of an impoverished circus hires Chaplin's Little Tramp as a clown, but discovers that he can only be funny unintentionally. The production of the film was the most difficult experience in Chaplin's career. Numerous problems and delays occurred, including a studio fire, the death of Chaplin's mother, as well as Chaplin's bitter divorce from his second wife Lita Grey, and the Internal Revenue Service's claims of Chaplin's owed back taxes, all of which culminated in filming being stalled for eight months.The Circus was the seventh highest grossing silent film in cinema history taking in more than $3.8 million in 1928. The film continues to receive high praise. For More Information on the Film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Circus_(1928_film)
