Plots(1)

Take a fun-filled trip back to a bygone era with the greatest silent comedians of all time. Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, Ben Turpin and Snub Pollard were just a few of the comedic geniuses who spread laughter and happiness to millions across the world. Without having to speak a single word their crazy antics had us in stitches. Theirs was a world of zany situations, uproarious sight-gags, fast-paced car chases and elaborately staged pranks. Director Robert Youngson chose from hundreds of hours of vintage film clips to bring you the absolute funniest scenes of these comic greats. (official distributor synopsis)
