When Comedy Was King
Take a fun filled trip back to a bygone era with the greatest silent comedians of all time. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy, Ben Turpin and Snub Pollard were just a few of the comedic geniuses who spread laughter and happiness to millions accross the world. Without having to speak a single word, their crazy antics had us in stitches. Theirs was a world of zany situations, uproarious sight-gags, fast-paced car chases and elaborately staged pranks. Director Robert Youngson chose from hundreds of hours of vintage film clips to bring you the funniest scenes from these comedy greats.
