Charlie Chaplin arrived in America in 1910 with the Fred Karno comedy troupe. His rough and tumble style brought him to the attention of Mack Sennett, who invited Chaplin to join the Keystone Film Company. It was at Keystone that Chaplin first stepped in front of the camera to delight the world and forever change the face of film comedy.
Chaplin at Keystone is a sparkling collection of films that first brought Charlie Chaplin to national attention. The anthology features a young, wild, pie-in-the-face Chaplin and a stable of slapstick legends, including Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Mabel Normand, Al St. John, Chester Conklin and Edgar Kennedy.
