@hippyjoe1955 I think he did his own stunts as well.

@DallasCowboysFan Yeah I read the same thing. Everyone loves Charlie Chaplin. I prefer Buster Keaton. lol

@hippyjoe1955 Harold Lloyd was funny as well. Famous during his time, but not as well known now. CC was funny, but the man was a lifelong member of the communist party. He was prohibited from entering the U.S. for many years and was only allowed re-entry to receive an Oscar. I don't understand how someone could have spent so much time villanizing Hitler and still embrace communism. Same wine, different bottles.

@AndyH hard to believe that movie came out in 1939

@zerofuks2give she’s a good sport..
but she couldn’t walk for a week

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP We were forced to watch that in school. The lay teacher leading the class thought it was “a classic” and Griffith was a “pioneer”. 🙄

@bijouxbroussard That must have been difficult. You didn't have the chance to opt-out? I heard disturbing things about Polanski's Macbeth and was allowed to skip it

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP Not back then. I doubt anyone would dare show it in classes now, but back then “teachers knew best”. My mother said if she’d known they were going to show it she’d have kept me home that day. I was about 11.
