Here is the complete, uncut version of the nonsense song from Modern Times. Chaplin deleted the final verse of this song prior to a 1954 reissue (the deleted verse is around the 3:35 mark).
BTW, sorry for what looks like self-censorship; this has happened to me before, where my comment shows up in multiple. I don't get what I'm doing wrong, but then I'm not the most tech-savvy...
Oh my god. I always heard that the girl pawns the ring but I never quite understood how that made sense. This extra shot makes the entire thing come together. Thank you!
Do you think this was recorded as he sung it on the set or did he record the song in a studio and he mimed it? Thanks-
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is that Charlie performed the song live on the set with the real orchestra playing off-camera, not in the background.
DeleteThat's the way I understand it, too, Jess.
