Very little original US advertising material is known to have survived on this title.

This is one of Charlie Chaplin's greatest films. It was released in 1931 when sound had already been out for a few years. Chaplin chose to make this particular film without sound, which did not affect the film's box office success.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright. There are corner pinholes, some of which have been restored.
