Charlie Chaplin’s A BURLESQUE ON CARMEN (1915) - Hilarious Carmen Parody | Silent Film Spoof
Description: Experience Charlie Chaplin’s uproarious take on opera with *A Burlesque on Carmen* (1915)! 🎭 This early Essanay Studios gem parodies Bizet’s *Carmen*, featuring Chaplin as the bumbling soldier Don José, entangled in a love triangle filled with absurdity, sword fights, and Chaplin’s trademark physical humor. Though later re-edited against Chaplin’s wishes, this original version brims with satire, over-the-top drama, and vintage comedy gold.
🔍 Key Highlights: - Chaplin’s rare parody of a classic opera - Co-starring Edna Purviance and Ben Turpin - Restored to preserve Chaplin’s original comedic vision - A fascinating glimpse into Chaplin’s early career evolution
