Tango Tangles (1914) - released 104 years ago this day. Directed by Mack Sennett, it starred these two dorks (who’d become giant directors of comedy themselves), as wee fresh-faced babes!

10 April 1972 - Charlie Chaplin receives an Honorary Oscar at the 44th Academy Awards. At 82 years old, he was given a 12 minute standing ovation - the longest in the history of the Academy Awards, to date. In this footage, the camera also cuts to Jackie Coogan who, as a child, starred alongside Charlie in one of his best known and most loved films, The Kid (1921).

“Oh, thank you so much. It’s an emotional moment for me, and words seem so futile, so feeble. I can only say, thank you for the honour of inviting me here and, oh, you’re wonderful, sweet people. Thank you.”

This was the first time that Charlie had been in the U.S. since 1952, when he was told that he would not be permitted re-entry, while away in Europe.

He began his film career in America in 1914, and continued to act and direct until his last screen appearance, alongside Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren, in the film he wrote, directed and produced, A Countess from Hong Kong (1967).

“The inscription reads ‘To Charles Chaplin, for the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art-form of this century’. Chaplin has become more than a name. It is a word in the vocabulary of films, and anyone who has ever seen a movie is in his debt.” - Daniel Taradash, President of the Academy (1970-1973).
