Charlie Chaplin - The Liberty Bond (extract from The Bond, 1918)

To boost the Fourth Liberty Loan, Chaplin made a one-reeler called The Bond. It is a charming fragment of Chaplin whimsy, short scenes played against a stylised background of white cut-outs, as was common in revue. It illustrated the bond of friendship, the bond of love, the bond of marriage and ‘most important of all, the Liberty Bond.’ Edna Purviance as Liberty, Sydney Chaplin as The Kaiser. • Subscribe to our channel: • Official website:
