CHARLIE CHAPLIN-TILLIE'S PUNCTURED ROMANCE-ORIGINAL TITLE CARD MOVIE POSTER-Re release 1950Unrestored lobby card with very good color and overall good very presentable appearance. and may have the usual mild edge wear, creases, small tears, pinholes, surface scuffing, minute paper lifts, slight paper loss, stains or smudges and/or toning.
The re-release of the very popular 1914 movie Tillie’s Punctured Romance is notable for a number of reasons, but chiefly remembered for co-starr...ing Chaplin in his first feature length film. Directed by head of Keystone Mack Sennett, it was also the first feature length comedy and, despite its success, Keystone’s only feature. This was due to the logistical difficulties involved in shooting such a huge production concurrently with dozens of quick and cheap shorts, all featuring the same actors. Stage star Marie Dressler, secured by Keystone at great cost, was reprising her signature role in the big screen adaptation of the musical stage play, Tillie’s Nightmare. Dressler, who originated the role, also owned the rights to the 1910 play by A. Baldwin Sloane and Edgar Smith, and had toured it for three years to packed houses and rapturous critical notices. She was also ably supported onscreen by almost all of Keystone’s biggest stars, including Mabel Normand, Mack Swain and of course, Chaplin. In fact, the only noteworthy omission from this virtual roll call of Keystone’s stable was Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle. It was perfectly understandable, given his frenetic work rate, which exceeded even Chaplin’s unimaginably hectic schedule. At least 50 films featuring Arbuckle were released in 1914 alone, including seven with Chaplin.Payment requested within 2 days.
