- Synopsis:
- The Little Tramp is hired by a circus and soon becomes the main attraction when his comedic blunders drive the crowd wild. Yet he himself is unaware of this newly acquired eminence due to his tunnel vision of love for the ringmaster's daughter. 'The Circus' features one of the most memorable appearances by the Little Tramp where Chaplin delivers a whirlwind of visual gags that are quite literally show stopping.

More Chaplin - The Circus review by RJ
I've been working my way through the blu-ray box set of Chaplin's features and have made it as far as The Circus.
As I've said in my reviews of his previous features, I have not yet completely warmed to Chaplin. I should also say that this is the fourth review I've written of Chaplin's films in the last hour so I am flagging slightly and running out of things to say.
Very much like his previous film, The Gold Rush, this is often quite funny, occasionally quite touching, a bit sentimental.... it's a Chaplin film, what else can I say?
I definitely have Chaplin fatigue now. I think the rest of the box set will have to wait a little while.
