Glasgow, Night At The Movies.

          Tuesday night, not much on, well why not get along to Govan Road, and see the trials and tribulations when a poor guy gets his bike pinched.

COMMON GOOD FILM NIGHT CONVERSATIONS:

CHAPLIN IS ALIVE AND WELL!!

        Probably a speech from a movie that has more relevance today than when it was written. I can't see a modern big time movie maker allowing such a powerful piece onto the mainstream movie circuit. Charlie wrote the speech himself and it took him many hours of re-writing until he was satisfied that it said what he intended. I love the fact that the film in which Chaplin made the speech was made about 70/80 years ago but has been married to images of today. An excellent piece of work.
