When Charlie Chaplin signed with the Mutual Film Company in 1916, he became the highest-paid performer at that time (with an annual salary of $670,000) and produced a dozen two-reelers that served as a blueprint for the rest of his career. The Mutuals captured the essence of Chaplin's serio-comic brilliance while revealing an artist at his creative peak. A stronger sense of ensemble was evident in the menacing presence of Eric Campbell, who became regarded as the ideal Chaplin heavy. "Easy Street" ... Read More

This set consists of all twelve of the two reel films Charles Chaplin made for the Mutual Film Company in 1916 and 1917, and is a good place to start for people who are curious about the early work of Charles Chaplin. His early films, such as "The Floorwalker" and "The Fireman" have more of the crude slapstick style of humor present in Chaplin's Essanay and Keystone comedies. However, as the series progresses, you can clearly see Chaplin's evolution as a filmmaker. "The Vagabond" seems to presage "The ... Read More

It has been 90 years since these great comedies were made (1916-17) and many folks that are new to Chaplin may dismiss them as funny shorts. Chaplin by 1916 was a real big star and was paid $650,000 to do these 12 comedies in a little over a year. A ridiculous sum in 1916. Unlike his full feature films from the 20's and 30's (with the exception of City Lights - a masterpiece)) where there was much emphasis on pathos,and tearjerking scenes, these comedies are wild and wacky. In 1970, I bought some of these ... Read More

This is the best I've ever seen the mutuals looking. If you've only seen them on a cheapie DVD with the same Duke Ellington jazz tune played on every film, you don't know what you're missing. Every film is scored by the best silent composer working today, Carl Davis, and taken from some of the best prints I've ever seen of anything from the 1910's, which is usually barely watchable, here looks as clear as something from the 40's.
Most importantly they're fun films, funnier than Charlie's ... Read More

Chaplin's Mutual-two-reelers, which by many are looked upon as the comedian's noblest work, have been brought out on video and DVD several times, always with variable quality. Some have been good, others weak.
I once heard a proverb which fascinated me, "The biggest enemy to great, is good." Well then, CHAPLIN MUTUAL COMEDIES: RESTORED 90TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION is not among the good sets; it is the greatest one out there. Not only does it include clear prints of the twelve pearls, all with beautiful ... Read More
